“The German tripartite school system was abolished only a few years agobut it’s worth noting that the historian Correlli Barnett says Britain’s economic decline is partly attributable to the failure to modify its education system to train people who could turn scientific and technological discoveries into profitable commercial enterprises. Too many classical scholars, not enough engineers. Even now, in Britain engineering is a white-collar job, whereas in Germany it’s a profession and you put letters before (not after) your name, e.g. “Dr.-Ing”.”

“Richard Basehart has moved on from his womanizing days in the US to steadier waters in the UK with wife Faith Brooke and now works as a successful producer for his wife’s father Roger Livesey. During the production of his latest project, which stars one of his former flames Constance Cummings, he receives several letters from a person he doesn’t know, claiming they had an affair. Initially thinking it’s an attempt at blackmail, he shrugs it off.

But when his wife also receives a letter, they decide enough is enough, and they visit the woman, Mary Murphy. When she persists in her story, even in front of the police, Basehart starts to have doubts. Could he really have forgotten?! Soon things start to fall apart for him, as Murphy’s story, fabricated or not, starts to threaten his marriage as well as his career.

Released in the UK as ‘The Intimate Stranger’ and ‘Finger Of Guilt’ in the US, this movie starts off as a marital drama (told in flashback by Basehart), and slowly moves into thriller territories before culminating in a pretty exciting final 20 minutes inside a studio set. Written and directed by 2 men blacklisted by Hollywood, Joseph Losey (‘The Prowler’) and Howard Koch (‘Casablanca’), the story can be easily seen as a metaphor for what they endured.

But the movie never becomes self-righteous or preachy. Most of the movie is filmed in a matter-of-fact type of way, focusing squarely on Basehart (‘He Walked By Night’), leaving the viewer guessing about Murphy (‘The Desperate Hours’) and the truth. Basehart is solid as a man who’s confronted with a past he’s forgotten about, or has he?

Murphy however is great, she manages to come off as both lying and telling the truth at the same time, shrugging of his questions with ease, which in turn confuses him even more. The rest of the cast are also good, thankfully, as the movie is dialogue-heavy and has a pretty slow pace, especially in the first half.

Visually the movie combines 2 opposites. The opening scene as well as the climax are shot imaginatively, appealing to noir heads. The rest of the movie however is shot in a mostly shadow-less, almost TV-like, manner. Having said that, DoP Gerald Gibbs (‘No Orchids For Miss Blandish’) does a nice job.

The climax inside a studio set is beautifully shot, with some creative shots and angles, including a fist fight that moves in and out of a light illuminating a projection screen used for dailies, projecting a shadow fistfight. It stands in stark contrast with the rest of the movie but it also makes the climax more effective. All in all, it’s a good drama/thriller that skirts into noir territories.”

(1240) Afternoon all. Cunning plan is run some more politics, then a filum after that … not the second Bplus (tomorrow) but straightB. Then who knows? Medical things, plus house issues.

Incidentally, tomorrow morning, must finish blogging by 0900 as there’s a house issue involving outsiders after that … no idea how long it will be, so short blogging hiatus then. (1338)

 

15. Kate and Melania

On Melania’s site:

Kate is 5’9″ in stockinged feet but here has heels of what … three inches? Melania is about lvel with Donny in some pics but slightly shorter in others. I thought Donny was over 6 feet. Some reports had him at five-eight, five-nine. Anomaly here.

France – A General Strike is called by the unions for today.

a) After “Block Everything,” [last week] union organizations are taking to the streets on Thursday, September 18, 2025, to try to sustain the protests. Up to 900,000 people are expected to take part across the country.

b) France’s outgoing interior minister Bruno Retailleau has warned that the imminent nationwide strike risks degenerating into violent unrest.

c) Emmanuel Macron has spent much of the war in Ukraine apparently attempting to present himself as Europe’s primary resister to Russia’s military plans.

d) I [DJT] am pleased to inform our many U.S.A. Patriots that I am designating ANTIFA, A SICK, DANGEROUS, RADICAL LEFT DISASTER, AS A MAJOR TERRORIST ORGANIZATION.

Continues there.

(0332) Thank goodness it’s not one minute later. All right, awake after first sleep, in good nick, surprisingly … that attack really was an internal attack, lasted its standard length but very Woodsy in the way it went. Let’s leave all that for now and onto the main things in September … CK. Meanwhile, I’m back to bed, looking at a 7:30 a.m. restart or thereabouts. (0423)

 

Gathering some of what we have

Readers all … we have to read and watch I’m afraid, plus I can’t overly plainspeak. Poor old Redacted was caught out that way, it’s not his milieu but the NOWP thing was certainly factors to be added. In a few moments, I’ll look down my comments lists again and point to some links here.

Ladies first and this is Toodles … first where two chaps discuss it all:

HERE

… and then the BLG:

HERE

He describes it as “we keep going down and down in a downward spiral”. Yes, agreed. In the upper link, it’s pointed out that there are so many theories about, many which do seem to hold at least some water.

In this matter, as it is worldwide like TR’s now, there are some things we must do first:

Preliminaries:

a. Take care of ourselves first, meaning health, inc. mental, of ourselves and our nearest and dearest. Remember that it can be externally interfered with from jabs to Gates cloud to food to water. Overall health too … we simply can’t think straight if we’re not living right … stands to reason. Not as some health nut but that we have people at least partially dependent on us.

b. At the same time, the cyber world we inhabit, apart from pumping radiation into us 24/7, has other characteristics … it changes our stance, body position if on a phone, it removes our constant scanning for danger stance, it removes (un)common sense, vigilance, wariness, patience, postponement of intended reactions to provocateurs.

c. Everyone has a starting bias … it’s clear that IYE and Steve have opposite ones on the same country in the middle of all this … go to Jstack, look at Mark’s same constant warning. But to say, as many do, that it’s not also the deathcult … that’s stoopid. Of course it is. Plus China, India. It’s also techies like Elon v plebs like us. We have to allow for a priori biases, ok?

Let’s continue with some links:

Then to our main HQ coverage since the shooting, meaning links within posts, plus comments below the posts. In the same way, if you look at the clips, vlogs, always go into comments.

There are also things at other blogs, plus X but I’d suggest you really do need to know biases first in each case … they affect what’s included, skipped over, left out.

Then there is the end time scenario … don’t just dismiss that, not that we can do much … although the CK effect is that so many of the young are turning back to the gospels, which does not suit Ben Shapiro, who always twists that the Jewish way or Israeli way or Nethanyahu way … the three are not the same, nor equivalent..

And never dismiss the Triune God v the man with the tails, which involves an antiC who uses the hegelian dialectic principle.

There’s a hell of a lot of reading and watching just in those, before going more widely.

And that’s before we start the day’s doings … DAD has already dropped.

(1646) Almost evening.

“The quintessential 40s British whodunit, Green for Danger satisfies even as it leaves a trail of plot holes that even Alistair Sims’ rather self-satisfied Inspector Cockrill would have spotted. Perhaps it satisfies despite its flaws because it embodies all the good things about British films back then.

The writers assume a level of intelligence on the part of their viewers and possession of an attention span that would seem unattainable to many of today’s MTV generation. Time is taken to develop characters and establish relationships instead of telling the audience everything about a character that is necessary only for the purpose of driving the plot along.

Alistair Sim, sporting a typically smug grin when he’s not ducking airplanes, plays Inspector Cockrill, who is called upon to investigate the murder of a postman on the operating table at a quaint hospital full of wooden beams and flagstone floors. He doesn’t appear until midway through the film – although his voice can be heard on the narration from the outset – and his dry wit peps things up immeasurably.

We are presented with the usual group of suspects: Leo Genn as a vaguely slimy Lothario who wastes no time in pursuing the lovely nurse Fredericka (Sally Gray) the moment she breaks off her engagement to a young Trevor Howard; buxom Megs Jenkins, a matronly figure even then although she was still in her twenties, and a nurse who borders on the edge of hysteria nearly all the time.

They were all present at an operation in which poor old Moore Marriott was pumped full of Co2, and are all, therefore, suspected of his murder.

The film keeps you guessing throughout – knowing very little about the film before I watched it, I couldn’t even figure out who the second victim was going to be for a while: the plot seemed to be setting up one character for the fall before turning the spotlight on someone else entirely. A couple of red herrings throw you off the trail quite nicely, and Inspector Cockrill’s confidence proves to be monumentally misplaced.

The twist at the end is truly sublime, and the look on Alistair Sim’s face when all becomes clear is one of those cinematic moments that live long in the memory. It’s all very quaint and old-fashioned now, but it still provides some solid entertainment.”
