Saturday, I saw Joan Crawford rock the hell out of a pair of glasses.
My movie group watched
Humoresque,
a 1945 film starring Crawford as a bored, horny socialite and John
Garfield as the gifted violinist she "sponsors." The movie itself was
pretty soapy, and since I truly can't stand classical music, the score
left me cold. But I loved the lush black-and-white cinematography, and
Crawford looked great in frames that she could have ordered from Warby
Parker.
The joy I got from this little detail makes me
hope I can get myself to The TCM Film Festival this coming spring. It's a
wallow for classic film fans, and I think I would enjoy it
extravagantly.
This made me happy.
