"It's not always a good place to go, Michael: the past."

Classical Stephen Poliakoff emotions in his 2009 film "Glorious 39", about 1939 politics, war, class, race and family.

The quoted line is spoken in the deepest bass by the wonderful Christopher Lee. Solid acting all round in this fine film, from Romola Garai, Bill Nighy, many other excellent actors.

Currently on BBC iPlayer, if you have access.

#Iwatched #DirtyDancing: Havana Nights (2004). I was surprised how well this prequel worked with 1958 Cuba as background and young #DiegoLuna as waiter/dancer. #RomolaGarai and their love affair is hard to root for though, with the script easily resolving any obstacles the couple might face. Her parents soon support her, her rich suitor is fine with it. The revolution merely ruins the dance contest, no one's getting hurt or arrested. This is just a holiday flirt, not the time of my life.

Ben Whishaw – The Hour (2012)

Journalist:innen bei der Arbeit zu beobachten, ist ja schon lange ein eigenes Genre. Alleine an Serien zum Thema gibt es Material genug, um einen ganzen Sender damit zu betreiben. Ich habe damals bei „Lou Grant“ gelernt und erst jüngst bei „The Morning Show“ fast den Spaß daran verloren.
