Having “Read” “Deep Blue Sea” in black and White
It was shown on TV Last night in colour.
The story had always been.
As Recognisable.
As if. I had been blessed with such talent.
To have written it.
Being in colour. Absoluty Riveting.
I can’t remember the last black and white film I watched, probably a Sherlock homes with basil rathbone, incidentally, my all time favourite film is the thing from another world, if you watch the scene where they’ve barricaded the door by nailing wood across it, the alien opens the door inwards making the barrier pointless, still a great film though…
I think you’d enjoy Billy Liar, I think the script was written by one of the people who wrote Whistle Down the Wind. Completely different genre, it is a comedy and stars Tom Courtenay and the lovely Julie Christie. One of my all time favourite films.
You’ll notice Wilfred Pickles and fair few British stars too
Not the last black and white i watched but worth a mention if you like old war movies.
‘I Was Monty’s Double’ (John Mills - he’s great in war films!)
This is about how an actor was trained to impersonate General Montgomery and sent off to north Africa to divert the Germans attentions away from the real Monty.
Great film with lots of humour, and one more for my collection.
I came across that film recently and couldn’t remember if I’d ever seen it or not, maybe I had seen part of it many years ago, so I re-watched it, really enjoyed it. Very well-made, great acting.
I can watch most anything I want B&W, if I choose. I have already seen most still offered.
I do appreciate B&W cause of the great Cinema video images, I think in black and white
when I chose to draw.
