Under a desk,
you crouched,
assembling your partial life
Parting ways
You explained to me
With a certain candor
about fences,
striped sheets
and your Boarder’s girt card.
To what ends
was always unclear
Cautioning me I guess
Wasn’t an option
eventually you’d let me down
And
I know you knew it
you always did
that head of yours is on tight enough
To see the end of this
even if you still can’t pull your life together
Maybe my feeling just
Slipped your mind
Here we where
If given time
With effort
I could certainly do better then this,
but I probably won’t.

Films I found worth watching
My Name Is Julia Ross (1945)
IMDB Page
Thriller / Drama
The tagline sums it up fairly well.
“She went to sleep as a secretary ... and woke up a madman's "bride"!”
This was produced as a B-unit at Columbia. It was made to be a fill in, b-movie, low budget and quickly done. However it has risen above and is a wonderful early “Try to drive the woman crazy” film. That might not be a “real” category but it should be.
So this chick, Julia Ross, finds a job with this wealthy widow, Mrs. Hughes. As these stories are want to go, our hero has no real relations or friends (but one) and is new to the town. After a few days, she finds herself in a different house, wearing someone else’s cloths and the people around her are adamant that she is someone other then who she knows she is. The household’s residents, of course, mean for her to meet with a not so pleasant end. The son of the widow is pretty creepy and likes to play with knives, so that’s always a plus. Very 1940s, enjoyably dramatic, clever and well acted.
Gaslight (1944)
IMDB Page
Thriller/Drama
Ingrid Bergman
Angela Lansbury
Definition page
Main Entry: gaslight
Part of Speech: v
Definition: to manipulate someone into questioning their own sanity; to subtly drive someone crazy
Gaslight is about this girl Paula, who’s aunt and guardian, Alice is straggled. Paula goes away to Italy for ten years and returns to London married to Gregory Anton. Her new husband convinces her to move back to her aunts house in London. She is not keen but like any good woman dose what her man tells her too. He’s a bit shady and after they move in he slowly starts messing with her head. This is another “Try to drive the woman crazy” movie from the 1940s. Well acted, in fact this is, Angela Lansbury ‘s first film. And she’s a sarcastic sullen house maid named Nancy Oliver. Delightful. I love the ending of this film. Ingrid Bergman is a categorical goddess.
Please, anyone who wants to comment on these film or recommend others feel free... or cheap... or whatever. Just comment, add to the pot, don't let me rule the world alone.
