To Kill A Mockingbird -

say, The book was better!"
Interesting sidelight on this -- when one of Gregory Peck's adult children
was interviewed, the reporter asked him what Peck was like as a Dad. The
son said that his father was, in real life, exactly like his portrayal of
Atticus Finch. WOW - what a compliment. That movie is so wonderful.
Another interesting bit -- I think it was Robert Duvall's first on-screen
role (??not sure of this), but even though he didn't speak a word, his
portrayal of Boo Radley was stunning.

==================================================
When I am the True Love, #31
When the Sidekick rescues me, I will dump any
gifts received from the Evil Overlord. They
probably contain tracking devices, which would
result in the Sidekick getting killed; then I'd
have to listen to his confession of undying love
while he croaks, and feel obligated to say some
comforting baloney before his eyes close for the
last time, and then after telling the Hero about
his friend's courageous sacrifice, wind up naming
our first child after him.
