– Last night I watched the new Criterion Collection DVD of Samuel Fuller’s Pickup on South Street. Was there ever a full-fledged movie star who looked weirder than Richard Widmark?
– Today I’m reading Barbara Pym’s A Very Private Eye: An Autobiography in Diaries and Letters. V. relaxing fare for a brain strained by excessive writing.
– Now playing on iTunes: Stephen Hough’s recording of Federico Mompou’s Charme pour inspirer l’amour. (I should be so lucky.)
