The Silver Screen

de bene esse: literally, of well-being, morally acceptable but subject to future validation or exception

About to watch The Letter with Bette Davis - She's a major favourite of mine.  I've loved the silver screen most of my life, fell in love with the studio sets of those black and white films.  Hepburn & Tracy, Bogart, Monroe, Montgomery Cliff, Elizabeth Taylor, Olivia deHavilland, Cary Grant, Clark Gable, Joan Crawford .... They don't make them like they used to, the actors nor most movies.

My all time favourite ... Gone With the Wind (Rhett Butler and Scarlett, Melanie and Ashley) - the book and the movie, done in larger than life techni-colour, also big fun.  Thank goodness for Turner Classic Movies!
