This distinctive yellow dress 💛 with van dyke trim was likely designed for Anne Stallybrass’s portrayal of Anna Strauss in the 1972 production 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑺𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒖𝒔𝒔 𝑭𝒂𝒎𝒊𝒍𝒚. 🎶 However, it is possible that the piece originated with an earlier production.   The costume went on to be worn by Gabrielle Hamilton as Miss Matty Jenkyns in the 1972 adaptation of 𝑪𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒅 🏘 and later by Adrienne Burgess as Catherine Hogarth Dickens in the 1976 series 𝑫𝒊𝒄𝒌𝒆𝒏𝒔 𝒐𝒇 𝑳𝒐𝒏𝒅𝒐𝒏. In 1982, it made an appearance in the miniseries 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑳𝒊𝒇𝒆 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑨𝒅𝒗𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒆𝒔 𝒐𝒇 𝑵𝒊𝒄𝒉𝒐𝒍𝒂𝒔 𝑵𝒊𝒄𝒌𝒍𝒆𝒃𝒚, 🎩 where Cathryn Harrison wore it as Henrietta Petowker.   👀 Find out where else this gown has been spotted by visiting Bit.ly/VicEd242

Actors who have appeared in both "Wuthering Heights" and "A Christmas Carol" adaptations

@faintingheroine

*Leo G. Carroll: Marley’s Ghost in the 1938 Reginald Owen Christmas Carol/Joseph in the 1939 Wuthering Heights

*Patrick Macnee: Edgar in the 1948 British TV Wuthering Heights/Young Marley in the 1951 Alastair Sim Scrooge

*Caroline Langrishe: Isabella in the 1978 BBC Wuthering Heights miniseries/Fred’s wife Janet in the 1984 George C. Scott Christmas Carol

*Andrew Lincoln: Edgar in the 2009 Wuthering Heights miniseries/Scrooge in the 2020 Old Vic Christmas Carol production shown in cinemas

*Dave Willetts: Heathcliff on the concept album of Bernard J. Taylor’s 1992 Wuthering Heights musical/one of the charity gentlemen in the 2004 Christmas Carol TV musical

Since both of these books are classic works of British literature, I'm honestly surprised that between all the adaptations, there haven't been more overlapping actors.

To mark the recent announcement of a release date for the long awaited Blu-Ray of Duet for One from Kino Lorber -- June 27, folks -- here is a rare behind-the-scenes shot of the cast and crew from the final day of principal shooting at Stonor Park in March 1986. Principals in the front row are from L to R: Margaret Courtney, Rupert Everett, Alan Bates, Julie Andrews, Cathryn Harrison, Andrei Konchalovsky, Macha Méril, Max von Sydow, and Nicola Perring. Absent, presumably because they were not involved in filming that day: Sigfrit Steiner, Liam Neeson, and Siobhan Redmond. Here’s hoping the new release of Duet for One brings this criminally neglected gem of a film the belated love it deserves.

I re-watched Black Moon (1975)

This film is a little piece of why I'm so strange.

In the midst of a war between men and women, a coming of age girl finds herself cast down the rabbit hole into the dreamlike world of a magical manor.

French director Louis Malle is a filmmaking legend. Most non film fans will have at least heard of his film "My Dinner With Andre". Here, Malle takes us on a strange trip through a film that changed my idea of filmmaking all together.

When I was young, about 13 or 14 years old, I came across "Black Moon" on television. Drawn in by my crush on actress Cathryn Harrison, but engaged by its strangeness. It was a confusing film, and seemingly confusing on purpose. However, along with David Lynch and Guy Maddin films, it helped alter the way I would forever think about narrative and story. With films like "Black Moon" Symbolism could be meaningful, or vague, or meaningless, or even so open to interpretation that it requires a third party viewer to place their own experience upon it. Dream logic/magical thinking stories which felt no obligation to explain themselves to their audiences. All wrapped in beautiful visuals and dripping atmosphere.

"Black Moon" is considered a failure of filmmaking. A rather boring, nonsense film that takes inspiration from "Alice In Wonderland", but which never truly understands itself. There are moments when it's themes are being hammered into your head and other moments where it's themes are seemingly tossed away for random strange ideas. It doesn't care, and maybe that's why I love it. It is, as people often say today, a vibe.

Full of gorgeous cinematography, beautiful settings, odd characters, bad dubbing, and fantastical moments, "Black Moon" is one of my all time favorite films. It is about entering adulthood. About ones inevitable descent into growing up, finding your way through the world, taking responsibility and eventually seeing yourself revert back into a childlike state of dependency. That's how I see it anyway. I could go into why I see it that way, but why bother. I can be both right and wrong about it simultaneously.

What I know for sure is that it speaks to me on some deep level I can't quite explain. It makes me feel at peace and yet makes me question what I'm actually feeling everytime I watch it. I see it's flaws and it's imperfections and happily embrace them. It is to me an extension of my own thoughts reflected back at me like a dream I once had, but which I can never truly decipher.

I don't recommend this film to anyone. It's too personal to me. If you watch it, I hope you like it, but I don't think your reasons would be the same as mine.
