And Lady Chattlerly's Lover. Oh my, the movie was playing and my elderly aunt came to visit. So apart from the storyline which I knew, I always liked some movies filmed on certain locations, especially England.
So I convinced my aunt to come with me. Not a word was said during the entire film, but when the lights went back on and my aunt held my arm back up the aisle, it caused more than a few stares. Next day I took her to visit an old friend in a nursing home. I sat quietly while they visited. She told her friend all about the movie, especially the part about where the actor strung some flowers all along her naked torso. Heh.
In a way the book was better. DH Lawrence didn't lead a very happy life. We were required to read the Prussian Officer in English Lit. I did. We were told the officer had a homosexual attraction to his orderly. Hmmm. How could he know that? I was ignorant about such things, read the story, didn't really like it.
I do think I generally have a tendency to see a whole lot of things superficially and don't perceive a deeper meaning if there is one.
I wrote "very incidentally" because, with every posting, you digress farther and farther away from the original topic.
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
Requiscat in pace, Tim O'Connor.
