Wonderful photo, Paul! I'm amazed at the way his shirt and jacket envelope him and set off his magnificent head!

I thought the film was entrancing, but a lot of it had to do with the rich blacks and grays and the way the actors made up for the lack of dialogue with their piercing gazes and postures. I'm told this film is viewable on Turner Classic Movies. It's worth a look! Also, Hedda Gabler is in it, as well as William Powell.

Surely you mean Hedda Hopper!

Yes, Hedda Hopper, before her gossip column days started.

I was wondering why, in the Imitation Game, there are so many shots of the back of BC's head? Can anybody throw light on this question?

Yes, but we're in denial.

Don't worry about snarking me, my kids do it all the time. Just call me Mrs. Malapope...er, Malaprop!

Very nice, and I like the Game of Thrones lick at the end.  Their take on the Game of Thrones theme is nice, too.

Saw this on Facebook today:
