“This was William Warren’s 2nd outing as Michael Lanyard the Lone Wolf with the eternal butler Eric Blore in for his 1st of many. It’s another pleasant mystery-adventure, with fairly high Columbia production values and a generally light-hearted approach.
Girls father is murdered and has valuable pearl necklace stolen, girl enrols Lanyard to help and they both seem keener to find the pearls than the murderers. At first anyway, when their close mutual friend is also murdered it suddenly gets serious. With many wonderful gurnings by Blore, laconic wit from William and decoration from inquisitive Joan Perry it races along to the satisfactory climax.
Favourite bit: Lanyard’s fond encounter with his old friend (?) Emil Gorlic (played by Montagu Love) in his hotel room. Lanyard’s passion for his extensive aquarium in his living room was I’m glad to relate, short-lived, and by the way the disputed elaborate balcony from Spy Hunt is here too, again on the 1st floor this time at the house of one of the baddies.
If you like the genre as I do – nice work by all concerned, if you don’t – shame you wasted your time.”

Last report, the Indians had taken over, it being on their tribal land, supposedly … but now the Empire of the East Strikes Back:
Redacted is quite right that they should not be forgotten. Logical place to start was X Search, then maybe ggl search, with little hope of success.

The last report I saw was by Aesthetica who had spoken to the mother. It seems she’s put up the shutters on the daughters, the two perps having been charged … no further info. I’ve run the above on X minutes ago, hoping someone will respond.
I wrote this at his place: “I recognise almost none which makes me guess into the 80s … I was out of circulation in the 80s. Early 80s?”

a) The reckoning is coming to France, the most spendthrift country in the world. (JH: Aside from Britain, Canada and Australia, per capita)
b) Death Threats Against the Right: Will France See Its Own Charlie Kirk Murder? (JH: Probably best not to imagine such things)
c) You have to read it to believe it. AFP is relaying the call of a dozen economists against the risk of “the collapse of public-interest journalism,” which provides quality information.

Trump actually put the auto-pen portrait on the wall 🤣
This opens with a disclaimer … it’s not my intention to mock anyone in this post … that point is genuine … but in order to make the various points, I need to draw attention to some shortcomings … heaven knows there are enough of my own to render me oh so very umble.
One of my contentions, at 0228 Thursday morning, is that cranked up sensitivity to perfection of form (the artistic aim of eye and ear) will then note the slightest discrepancy, the slightest flatness or defect … and reject it outright, almost as an outrage.
An example is my own grasp of language, such that the slightest error immediately stands out like a sore thumb … or in some of the reader critiques below on perfection of form, the English errors in their writing, to my eyes, are excruciating.
I’d ordinarily have not even noticed, the focus being on other things. But as they’re banging on about perfection in music, their imperfection in English also stands out. It will for you too, simply as I’ve now drawn attention to it.
One thing though which half a life in education has taught me is that it is way out of order to show irritability towards a learner if he or she is attempting to perfect form and is obviously falling short. To my mind, that’s a crime against learning.
This sensitivity to form though is behind my not finding Baroque music worthy of DAD … or Sunday jazz not worthy of Dearieme or AKH … and therefore I abandon attempts to, despite the kind disclaimer from the worthy DAD in comments right now. The thrill for the teacher is seeing the aspiration to excel in the learner, the thirst, even though the attempt falls short, over and over. Any good parent understands this.
What’s the Disney bit above? It’s a corner of the advert which rudely intruded on the video right in the presenter’s mid-word, not even waiting for a logical natural break. Philistine in the extreme. YT at its most crass.
Yet what can we expect? They’re a tech organisation, they’re not aesthetes, and the very ability to tune into my current focus and supply whatever videos it could find has stood this blog in good stead before … it certainly supplied me with the screenshots below. Kudos to that tech, kudos to machine learning … just for us to be here reading thus is a triumph of today’s tech.
Taste? Well (cough) … er … maybe not YT’s forte. Yet it can bring us videos such as this:
… followed by videos such as this:
That type of “jazz” is just not my thang, any more than big band orchestral swing in the 40s … and yet, if you follow his reasoning, backed by pitch graphics, you can see how grating this is upon him, upon viewers too, especially as in the previous vid of the olden day singer:
And on Chet Baker, the subject of WofP’s horror of YT’s treatment?
Did you notice the English error in the screenshots above … or in my spelling of “this” as “thus”? What you might not have noticed is that in order for this post to format properly, I had to edit the code behind, removing the html of “screenshot” for example. There’s no such thing as just typing and be done any more today.
And so to this daughter:
We had that video once before, going into her mom’s “wrong side of the tracks” start to life and horrendous childhood … her daughter here is doing a “none of that matters to me, mom” eulogy, uncomfortable to a mother who’s seen the rough side of life … and yet here’s her daughter running videos on “the war on b’yoo’dee” … talking aesthetics.
Time for yet another attempt by me at three hours more sleep before a restart aroubd 0730. See you then, hopefully.
