“I, uh, I was in love once — would you believe that? But I possessed neither the courage nor the optimism — perhaps the depth of feeling — that you two have.”
— A Christmas Carol (1984)
Solaris (1972)
King Kong (1976)
Casablanca (1942)
Took a sleeping pill and I tried to watch TV
But you know baby, the leading lady
Looked too much like you for the likes of me…
A Christmas Carol (1984)
Detour (1945)
All That Heaven Allows (1955)
“The Fire Within” (Le feu follet)
Since you put me down
It seems I’ve been very gloomy
You may laugh, but pretty girls look right through me
They don’t sense the faintest glimmering
That is the torch I bear…
For of all sad words of tongue or pen,
The saddest are these: “It might have been!”
–John Greenleaf Whittier, Maud Muller
Vivaldi – Largo from Concerto For Guitar And Strings in D Major
I just wanna watch the girls go by
It’s like poetry in motion
Against a hot summer sky
I’m in love at least every minute or two
Until the next time a girl walks by
I think I love her too
Oh I, I can’t help myself
But I just lose my head
Every time you see ’em walkin’ by…
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1941)
