Mississippi Mermaid by Francois Truffaut

[globe at zipcon.net]

     True movie buffs don't always want to see 'perfect' movies that experience 
is for everyday movie goers.  True lovers of moives like to see those flashes 
of brillance in direction, writing,and acting evern if the majority of the 
movie is challenging.  So I can recommend a movie for devoted cinema fans which 
has falshes of incredibly great acting, interesting staging but is so we say 
uneven.  It is the 1955 production of Mr Akadian: written, directed, produced 
and acted in by Orson Wells.  Patricia Medina has one incredible scene almost 
one long take and without any one saying anything you realize she is going to 
be murdered.  highly recommended.
