Dear Hildie:

 

Oh, yes, I know the German film you’re talking about. M is a classic. Lorre did some silents in the 1920s, I understand, and, as a Hungarian Jew, left Germany about when old Hilter (as Bill Haag called him) came to power.

I finally found my missing Chapter 38. Spent all morning scanning it and cleaning it up.

I hope the visit of your ex and sig other was a success (by the time you get this I assume they’ll have come and gone). I’ll bet his beard is gray now—Well, everybody else I know is turning gray! But, unlike the rest of us, I’ll bet he hasn’t gained weight.

Thanks for the kind words about the book CRIMES OF ARTEMUS KEEL. I’m sure there’s a lot that could be improved—seriously.

A 73 year-old virgin, huh? Are you volunteering—Oh, that’s right….Oh, well.

Oh, saw GREEN FOR DANGER the other night. It was delightful, though with some of those old movies the sound isn’t as crisp as one might wish and my ability to distinguish sounds has never been that great. But I loved it. Alistair Sim was wonderful. The very last sentence, where he submits his resignation (and hopes it won’t be accepted) sounded very familiar and I wondered if I’d seen the movie years before. Maybe. But I didn’t remember anything about it if I did.

 

Well, take care.

 

Love,

M
