Odd being in #Pordenone after the Giornate has finished. But life carries on… as does work.

Very sad to hear that passing of the great Diane Keaton (1946-2025). We loved her in many things; but especially crime thriller Looking for Mr. Goodbye (1977). #RIP

We skipped the evening screening. We’ve screened it plenty of times with @swsilents.bsky.social, but sad to hear that there was issues with last nights screening. Still a good film however.

#FilmNoir fans, you have an appointment with Marilyn (1953) (aka Roadhouse Girl in the US) on @talkingpicturestv.bsky.social , 10:40am this morning. This is a classic b movie #BritNoir directed by Wolf Rilla and starring Sandra Dorne and Maxwell Reed. It’s pretty good in fact.
