Copy’s not fabulous, a bit dark, but the dialogue is clear enough for an evening, pre-politics movie:
Soul survivor (IMDb)
Made on a shoestring budget ,this movie was,at the time of its release , ahead of its time, predating such works as “bid time return” “Audrey Rose” ” fearless” and many more .Time warp was rarely used then (“portrait of Jennie” (1949) was a notable exception though)
An aging Ann Harding is the stand -out : she who was young in “Peter Ibbetson” (1935) ,a masterpiece of the fantasy genre , is ideally cast as this war fiancée who lost her sweetheart when his plane crashed in 1918.
The movie is shrouded in mystery ;clues are given to the viewer: a twelve-year -old drives a plane without having learned to do it ,the strange chemistry between the captain and his passenger ,the strange words the survivor utters when he regains consciousness .
The movie may be too talky for some, but it proves that a fantasy tale does not need a ton of special effects to impress the viewer ; it may be,according to your own sensitivity a Christian movie (soul is immortal) or a mystery science will later explain (the pychiatrist).
Firstly, is Lucy C what is claimed, given the family bkgd? Secondly, can Tice, who visited her it’s said, is quite untrustworthy. However, Janey, a good gal, has reported it, so here tis:
“What an excellent filum! I have (somewhere) a VHS tape of “The Last African Flying Boat” which followed an attempt at recreating the old Imperial Airways routes, using a Consolidated PBY-5 Catalina. Whilst a more modern design than the aircraft shown here, its cruising speed wasn’t that much faster, and the view out must have been wonderful on a good day – not so in bad weather, which none of these machines could climb above.”
I promised to chase up … it would be today for the 8 a.m. slot but Microdave last evening wrote:
It appears to have become a victim of that evil ***** J Ardern, and her over zealous CV lockdowns…”
I went to Wiki this morning as a first stop and it had this. Cunning plan now is to explore the fate of the flying boat afap and report back sometime today.
(0517) Morning all … low lying Gates bleah out there and my sit-rep … chest and gut have been better, hopefully things will improve today. Cunning plan atm is to run the already scheduled Microdave info on the Consolidated PBY Catalina at our 0800. Early afternoon, shall draw attention again to IYE’s Dad’s Army link … I did, through Wiki, explore various cast member’s tales … that is still on the drawing board. Shall run that filum as well mentioned recently. (0738)

2. Toodles and the “bystander effect”
Toods provides a YT short on big cities and how they make denizens and visitors act … which the narrator terms “the bystander effect” … she adds that Our Father does not really like big cities, she’s sleeping now in the US but will look for the verse after that.
It’s true, that … that effect … and to my mind, it’s horrible, as that’s precisely what people have done through the ages … anonymity in the crowd, watching the victim abused, nobody stepping in. It’s an effect much beloved by the psychos both above and imported.
1. Searching for DAD
Still no drop at NOWP, checked the engine room, shall now check the ggl inbox, then the JH inbox. I can’t really run the DAD drops at HQ apart from yesterday, for security reasons … the links you see.
0535: DAD appears to have landed at 1086, signposting below:
“Life in France gets more and more bizarre.
a) More on the sham marriage at Paris Disneyland. The man who pretended to marry a nine-year-old girl at Disneyland Paris is a convicted British paedophile behind a string of bizarre social media stunts…..
b) Would you vote for these to be your Municiple Elections? …..
c) The Law is an Ass. The Bobigny court condemned the French health insurance system for refusing to cover the cost of breast removal for a young woman who claimed to be a man.
d) Do we choose candidates’ positions on a municipal list based on a La France Insoumise colour chart? [LFI = Neo-communist]. The question arises after the rebellious candidate for mayor of Toulouse, François Piquemal, privately declared: “I don’t want any babtous at the top of my list in the municipal elections.””
Live just now and The Donald is furious with Israel and Iran – but mostly with Netanyahu for breaking the ceasefire. He was about to board Marine One for Andrews AFB when he said to reporters “they’ve been fighting so hard for so long they don’t know what the f*ck they’re doing”.
He’ll be on the phone to Bibi as he journeys to the Netherlands and the expletives will no doubt continue to flow. He’s been stabbed in back once too often and the IDF need to turn those jets around and return to base.
Newsflash: Trump on Airforce One, on the phone to Netanyahu and he’s stopped the bombing sortie – they’ll do a fly-by and just waves their wings, apparently, and return to base forthwith.
a) Feb 2023. Around 200 people protested the presence of a camp in the woods bordering the town. They drove away the illegally settled families before entering in large numbers and beginning to destroy makeshift shacks themselves.
June 2025. “The role of the court is not to say whether what happened was right or wrong, but to say whether the acts for which the defendants were prosecuted were proven, and that is not the case,” declared the presiding judge in her deliberations.
Dominique Kudla, the independent mayor of Villeron, and five of his constituents were tried this Monday before the Pontoise Criminal Court. They had driven away Roma families and destroyed their shacks in February 2023.
b) Dressed in white jumpsuits and with their faces covered, some 150 activists entered the Tournai-based company’s warehouses early in the morning. Their action was part of the “Stop Arming Israel” campaign, through which they demand compliance with the military embargo against Israel and the adoption of sanctions by Belgium against the Jewish state.
The damage is estimated at approximately one million euros. OIP specializes in the maintenance, repair, and modernization of military vehicles.
Unfortunately the armored vehicles that were damaged were for the Ukrainian army.
Interesting how that came through. I saw the blockage … it wanted to expand but it seems the platform allows some to expand, not others. The issue was “c and d” which needed some redacting to get around.
Now, not going to respond to our mystery correspondent for security reasons but be it known … it’s been an entertaining exercise for sure. 😎
