Yes, I love him. I love their shirts starched collar and cuffs and fastens how bad the vest. He is tall as a giraffe and so I want it, want it is that kind of guy who gets drunk with a glass of milk. And I like the way you blush to his ears. I love him because he can not kiss a fool! I love you, Joe, is what I try to tell you. Do not see again ... but I will not marry you. Although a ton of cement tie around my neck and throw me to the river like you did the others.

Fireball, Howard Hawks, written by Charles Brackett, Billy Wilder and Thomas Monroe

The smell of honeysuckle

Tell Billy Wilder film is like recommending a healthy lifestyle, eat fruit and get some exercise. Needless to say, simply do it. You can not see, are master classes for young directors, actors emerging and film technicians in all its branches. But best of all, they are films for the public, devilishly entertaining, exciting, captivating stories that you are jarred uncontrollable comedy taking you to the most terrible tragedy, sometimes with just a few minutes apart.

Sunday, waiting for the sun squeezing both and thus able to work in the garden, because work is, and quite, I reviewed some titles it: Twilight of the Gods , Doom and Witness for the Prosecution . Three films, three women: Gloria Swanson, Barbara Stanwyck and Marlene Dietrich. And three characters: Norma Desmond, Phyllis Dietrichson and Christine Vole. I could not have been a more delicious Sunday, as he did not spend a time.

Perdición

When this night I went outside and I smelled the wet grass I recalled the words of Fred MacMurray in Double Indemnity:

It was a hot afternoon and I still remember the smell of honeysuckle in the street. What I did not know that sometimes the smell of honeysuckle murder?

I propose something, something to warm summer nights, those in which the windows of the houses are open wide, hoping to steal a light breeze at dawn. One suggestion for those long nights: Billy Wilder film. They are good for the soul.

-Roque.

PS: by the way, Billy Wilder made ​​his last film in 1981, Buddy Buddy . He could not roll over because insurers feared that Hollywood, for his age had to be forced to abandon filming or dies suddenly. He died 21 years later. I always remember this story, terrible, by the way.

Happy Idiot

'Come on, Fran, do not get well. Are you going to spend the night crying like a fool? Will not you tell me at least what you think? You figure you've been cheating on you ... but when one takes twelve years married to a woman can not sit down to breakfast and step calls sugar, divorce. Not so easy. It is also a bad time, children have school holidays, my in-laws have come to spend the holidays with us. I can not raise the issue. Do not recognize you, Fran. You, a girl always so cheerful and fun.
-I am the same. The idiot happy, always laughing.
-Ok, that's better. At least you're talking about.
-In the office party I heard a funny thing. I found your secretary, Ms. Olsen. Do you remember? Ding ding Does the? I almost died laughing.
- And that's got you worried? Is Miss Olsen? Already passed into history.
-Frankly, history has never been my forte. Overview: first was the Olsen, then such a Rossi ... No, that was before, after Koch came Olsen.
'Come on Fran.

Fran breaks to mourn again.
'Now sure there are some in the office waiting for my turn after.
Well, well ... okay, I confess that I deserve it. But do yourself a question, why a man goes with so many women? Well ... because it is not happy at home. Because it feels alone. But that was before I met you, and do not date any.
I did not think it was so stupid. It is seen that never learn. When one falls in love with a married man should not wear mascara.
