Vanja Orico as Maria Clódia in The Bandit / O Cangaceiro (1953)

("Cangaceiro" was a pejorative expression used to refer to bands of poor peasants who inhabited the northeastern deserts of Brazil. They wore leather clothing and hats covered in symbols and metal ornaments. They carried carbines, revolvers, shotguns, and the long narrow knife known as the peixeira.

The 1920s and 1930s saw the height of cangaceiro activity, with the most prominent bands numbering up to as many as 100 bandits. The bandits often behaved well to the poorer sections of society. They performed acts of charity, bought goods for higher than usual prices from small shopkeepers and gave free parties / bailes. In contrast, the wealthy were robbed, targeted for extortion, and were often kidnapped and held for ransom.)

In 1968, an episode marked Vanja's life forever. At the key moment of the burial of student Edson Luís, killed by a military dictatorship, she stood in front of the army, raised a white handkerchief and shouted "Don't shoot, we are all Brazilians." Vanja was imprisoned for 3 days. She wasn't tortured, but she took "a few blows to the head."

American justice has become politicized — a weapon against enemies with hall passes for favored groups. Attorney General Merrick Garland, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, and dozens of big city, George Soros-funded leftist district attorneys routinely prosecute innocent citizens while letting criminals walk free.

The actions of these powerful officers of the law fit a pattern that the great Soviet-era Russian writer Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn not only would have recognized, but he also detailed. Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg’s prosecutions of both Donald Trump and Daniel Penny — closing arguments for Penny’s trial are scheduled for after Thanksgiving — combined with his leniency for deadly criminals are a case in point.

In “The Gulag Archipelago,” Solzhenitsyn wrote of the “Voroshilov Amnesty,” granted three weeks after Stalin’s death in 1953, which “flooded the whole country with a wave of murderers, bandits, and thieves, who had with great difficulty been rounded up after the war.” Communist authorities thought a general amnesty would endear them to the people — of course, many non-violent political prisoners weren’t eligible.

This amnesty was compounded by Article 139 of the Criminal Code of 1926 which defined the “limits of necessary self-defense.” As Solzhenitsyn described the law, “you had the right to unsheathe your knife only after the criminal’s knife was hovering over you. And you could stab him only after he had stabbed you. And otherwise, you would be the one put on trial.” Solzhenitsyn then observed that “This fear of exceeding the measure of necessary self-defense led to total spinelessness as a national characteristic.”

Eli Wallach was a highly respected American actor known for his diverse and compelling performances across film, television, and theater. Born on December 7, 1915, in Brooklyn, New York, Wallach's career spanned over six decades, making him a significant figure in the entertainment industry.

Wallach's breakthrough role came in the 1956 film The Magnificent Seven, where he played the notorious bandit Calvera. This role showcased his talent for portraying complex villains and established him as a notable character actor in Hollywood. His ability to infuse his characters with both menace and charisma was a hallmark of his career.

One of Wallach's most iconic roles was as Tuco in Sergio Leone's The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966). In this classic Spaghetti Western, Wallach's portrayal of the cunning and unpredictable Tuco made him a memorable figure in cinema history. His performance was both comedic and menacing, demonstrating his versatility and depth as an actor.

In addition to his work in Westerns, Wallach had a successful career in drama and comedy. He starred in films such as The Misfits (1961), alongside Marilyn Monroe and Clark Gable, and The Godfather Part III (1990), where he played the role of the scheming Don Altobello. His work in The Godfather Part III further solidified his reputation as a skilled and versatile actor.

Wallach's theater career was equally distinguished. He appeared on Broadway in productions such as The Teahouse of the August Moon (1953), for which he won a Tony Award, and The Rose Tattoo (1951), where he earned critical acclaim for his performance. His stage work demonstrated his ability to adapt to different styles and genres, further showcasing his range as an actor.

Throughout his career, Eli Wallach received numerous accolades, including an honorary Academy Award in 2010 for his contributions to the film industry. His career was marked by a commitment to his craft and a dedication to bringing authenticity and depth to his roles.

Eli Wallach passed away on June 24, 2014, in Manhattan, New York. His legacy endures through his remarkable body of work and his impact on both film and theater. Wallach's performances continue to be celebrated for their complexity and enduring appeal.

My favourite Scottish singer, Jim Diamond was born on September 28th 1953 in Bridgeton, Glasgow.

Born to Sarah (nee Harper), a seamstress, and Lawrence, a firefighter, who would habitually get up to sing at parties, we all had a relative like this didn't we? Apart from his father, his earliest musical inspirations were soul music greats such as Ray Charles, Sam Cooke and Otis Redding. By the age of 14 he had joined his first band, The Method, and later he became lead singer of the Glasgow group Jade, touring the country playing club and college gigs. Then he embarked on a European tour with the band Gully Foyle (he had seen their advertisement for a lead singer in Glasgow’s Evening Times), which included some dates supporting Procol Harum.

His next stop was a quintet called Bandit, who were signed by Arista Records but they swept away by the emergence of punk rock. Bandit's one album was enough to prompt the NME’s reviewer, Tony Stewart, to comment that he was “an inspired and remarkable vocalist who projects himself well, displaying not only a passion for the music but a staggering range, which he uses fully”.

Bandit split up soon afterwards, but Diamond and Bandit’s guitarist, Danny McIntosh (now Kate Bush’s husband) went on to work with Alexis Korner. Word was spreading about Diamond and his powerfully expressive singing, and he was invited to fly to Los Angeles to form a band with the guitarist and David Bowie collaborator Earl Slick and the drummer Carmine Appice, who had been playing with Rod Stewart, but before the project could come to fruition, Diamond was in demand again, returning to England to form PhD and embarking on the series of hits that sealed his reputation.

Then Diamond contracted hepatitis, which prevented him from touring and prompted PhD to split. In 1984 he was back in action as a solo artist, triumphing with the No 1 heartbreaker I Should Have Known Better, often remembered for its soaring “I-I-I-I-I” chorus, which believe it or not, I pride myself on singing welle, The single, which was from his album Double Crossed , earned him a nomination for an Ivor Novello award.

Diamond’s career cooled after his intense burst of success in the early and mid-80s, although in 1985 Diamond went to No 1 again with the celebrity ensemble The Crowd on You’ll Never Walk Alone, a charity record for families of the victims of the Bradford City stadium fire. In 1986 his second solo album, Desire For Freedom, delivered the No 5 hit Hi Ho Silver, a song commissioned for Boon, starring Michael Elphick, and featuring yet another of Diamond’s catchy choruses, this time set to a briskly pumping reggae beat.

In 1993 he released the album Jim Diamond, which reached No 16 on the UK charts, and went on tour performing acoustic versions of his catalogue of songs. In the late 90s he teamed up with the saxophonist Chris “Snake” Davis, renowned for his studio work with M People, George Michael, Paul McCartney and many more, and they performed as The Blue Shoes. With the Hammond organist Paul Birchall, they also worked on Diamond’s 2005 album Souled and Healed. In 2009 PhD reunited to record a new album, Three.

In 2011 Diamond joined up with a group of Scottish musicians, including veterans from Wet Wet Wet and the Proclaimers, to record City of Soul, a collection of soul music cover versions to raise money for Cash for Kids.

Sadly on n 8 October 2015 Jim Diamond passed away as a result of a pulmonary edema – a build-up of fluid in his lungs. The family later said they were unaware he was unwell, his daughter Sara said “Dad was quite a private man, he didn’t court celebrity, and the only reason he did what he did was because he loved making music." adding “Dad’s song (I should have known better) went to Number one at the same time as Band Aid’s Do They Know It’s Christmas was released.

“He was over the moon, but told everyone to go and buy the charity single.” Sara added that the one thing her dad enjoyed using his fame for was to help others. She said: “Dad was always very aware of how lucky we had been as a family, in terms of health and wealth.

“He was very passionate about helping charities. He saw it as his duty to do what he could to give something back.”

RIP Jim Diamond, dubbed "Scotland's Ray Charles.

Det Är från Polisen / An Inspector Calls (1954) [👍]

Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022) [👍] Mitt omdöme i sin helhet: »Den här filmen är en sådan där upplevelse man bara kan se en gång. Den är som slutet på År 2000: Ett Rymdäventyr men med en intressant underliggande story, den är som Alice i Underlandet på LSD och den är kaotisk som en tågkrasch man inte kan slita ögonen från. Det är en välförtjänt Oscarsnominering för Jamie Lee Curtis (faktum är att de känns välförtjänta allihop).«

Syskondetektiverna / Casebusters (1986) [👍] Den här kändes som om den var en pilot för något större som aldrig blev av.

Så vilka filmer skall man hyperklicka in i "att se listan" denna månad? Svårt att säga – men har man aldrig sett den så kan man kika in "Satan's School for Girls".

EDITOR: “Christmas Time is Coming” is a favorite song of mine that reminds me of another favorite, Advent season, the anticipation of the birth of Christ.  Many churches use an Advent wreath to light an Advent candle each of the 4 Sundays before Christmas to reflect and prepare our hearts for the coming of Christ.  The first candle is purple and represents  Hope of the Savior through the prophesies.  The second candle is purple and represents Peace that comes from trust in God’s promises.  The third candle is pink and represents Joy as we rejoice in the promised birth.  The fourth candle is purple and represents Love of our Father God in Heaven.  Finally, the 5th candle is white, located in the center of the wreath, and represents Christ, God with us, which is what Christmas is all about! Christmas is coming! Let our hearts be glad in the anticipation of the season.   LRMartin

ASHTON RECALLS:  by Ashton Hester

ESCAPED PRISONERS THOUGHT SIGHTED NEAR SALEM - (The following story was in the July 8, 1953 issue of the Keowee Courier). . .Residents of the Salem area experienced quite a flurry of tense excitement Thursday afternoon when two men answering the descriptions of two bandits who recently escaped from the Greenville county jail were spotted in the Boone's Creek section. . .They were spotted on the property of Garvin Littleton near the creek, first by Mr. Littleton's daughter. She returned home and told her family about the men, and Mr. Littleton recalled that he had read a story about two escaped prisoners in the newspaper. . .He walked down the path toward the creek, and he too saw the men standing on the bank. They also saw him, and when they did they fled into the woods. . .Mr. Littleton went to Salem and reported the sighting, and Rug Burgess accompanied him back to his home and they went to the creek, but no one was to be seen. . .Meanwhile, word of the sighting spread around Salem like wildfire, and Oconee lawmen were summoned. However, other than footprints along the bank, no other traces of the two men could be found, and it will probably never be determined if they were the escaped bandits or simply a pair of trespassing fishermen.

Jottings from Miz Jeannie  by Jeannie Barnwell                   Wreaths Across America- Patsy Earnhardt,  Debbie Kimbrell and I promote patriotism by decorating  23 veterans' graves at our Salem Methodist Church at Christmas.   The cemetery had been pretty much ignored. But when we had a purpose to study it, it became a fascinating history lesson!  One soldier died in combat in World War II. The remaining  22 veterans returned to Salem after serving in the military.  As well as peacetime service, these men participated in World Wars I and II, Korea,  and Vietnam.   And Oh! Yes! In our cemetery one lone Confederate soldier rests. Since he didn't have a plantation or slaves, we ordered a wreath for him, too.                                                                                                                          *Favorites:  Sony 107.9 radio.
