movie review - Midnight Lace

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Vancouver, 2002.03.31

Aside from being an amusing look at the American take on British life in 1960, this movie about a woman being hounded by a maniac suffers from one horrible flaw; it's plot can be entirely deduced by reading the summary on the cassette box.

Not recommended.

rand()m quote

Immature poets imitate mature poets steal bad poets deface what they take and good poets make it into something better or at least something different. The good poet welds his theft into a whole of feeling which is unique utterly different than that from which it is torn the bad poet throws it into something which has no cohesion. A good poet will usually borrow from authors remote in time or alien in language or diverse in interest.

—T.S. Eliot
