Disraeli: Dizzy (1.1, ATV, 1978)

"I am an Englishman and a member of the Church of England."

"Yes. But you are still, by birth, a Jew."

"Yes, which I have never denied nor tried to conceal."

"Precisely. Precisely. And that is what Melbourne meant. Even to have been elected to the House of Parliament, without anything else, would have been a triumph. You would not only have been an MP, but you would have been the first Jew ever to have entered the House of Commons. You must not take it to heart because the times and the centuries are against you."

"My only regret, father, is that there might not be another by-election for months, even years."

"You mean to try again, then?"

"Yes again, again, and again, father, and not only for ambition but for pride. I refuse to let myself be beaten."

Disraeli! one of the many lavish period studies that seemed to pop up in the late 70s and early 80s on uk tv‚#i was drawn to this after having enjoyed Napoleon and Love so much. first ep is a cleverly plotted bit of sketching in of the high society #scene in pre victorian england‚ all wife swapping and posturing but with the ever present threat of scandal to eclipse it all. McShane is #intense and very good and im pleased the series is wrestling with antisemitism already (so it's kind of a shame they didnt cast a jewish #actor). perennial fave Aubrey Morris shines in a small support role as Disraeli's aging‚ cautious father and Mary Peach is a wonderfully #studied sycophant; Leigh Lawson's d'Orsay has an Outrageous French Accent which must be seen to be believed..

Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger (1977)

Sinbad must deliver a prince transformed into a monkey to the lands of the Ademaspai to restore him to his human form in time for his coronation. On the way he must contend with the evil witch Zenobia, her son and their magic, and several nasty-looking Ray Harryhausen beasties.

On Some Other Whitings and Others of Vaudeville

The title of this post is devised because its core subject is no apparent relation to either George Whiting or Jack Whiting, each of whom we have profiled, and it will concern not only songwriter Richard A. Whiting (1891-1938) but also many of his partners and relations who also figure in show biz history. The photo above is from the official Richard Whiting website. And if you do not know the…

Me: Once Upon a Time season 1 is so cozy and comforting :)

ouat s1: government corruption, a woman almost having to give her baby away against her will, a mine collapsing with a child inside, a girl locked in a mental hospital, arson, homeless children needing to steal to survive, said homeless children almost getting separated in the foster care system, infidelity, drugging and kidnapping, attempted muder, actual murder, a murder trial that has nothing to do with the real actual murder, a man slowly and painfully turning into wood, etc.
