Just watched the movie “Genius” (about Thomas Wolfe) on HBO. It had as one of its main musical theme underlaying much of the movie, the traditional melody that Robert Burns wrote as “Flow Gently Sweet Afton.”

I just watched Genuis the other night (Wolfe is my favorite writer). Not a great movie but the acting was fine - even if Jude Law was about two feet shorter than Wolfe. But I thought Colin Firth stole the show. And Flow Gently Sweet Afton was used effectively.
