"After that the magic was gone." "And a jolly good thing, too, if you ask me"--Bitter Moon
Dreamed of reading a Classics Illustrated comic book about Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid(?); taking a Los Angeles bus to a historic fort; a non-existent football cheer from an MGM musical.
Went to the book sale again and bought some more albums.
Saw Victor Sjostrom's The Girl From the Marsh Croft. (The streetcar kept me waiting over 20 minutes, so I got in a minute late, which always bugs me.) It was a pretty good melodrama about a "proper" young man and a girl disgraced by a paternity case.
John came over for dinner, which was spaghetti and soy meatballs.
Saw Roman Polanski's Bitter Moon, about a square British couple on a ship who meet a very kinky Franco-American couple. A long, uneven black comedy, sometimes perversely funny, sometimes heavy-handed, sometimes just silly (like the final sequence where the two wives get it on).
