Gregory Peck: "This is how you detect invisible ink. Weren't you ever a Boy Scout?" Sophia Loren: "I flunked the physical"--Arabesque
Dreamed of looking out of our Sackville house at suburban sprawl(?) and telling the parents, "We left Sackville at the right time"; seeing snow on the ground even though it was June.
Visited the Ogden Funeral Home and Second City for the Open Doors tour.
Dinner was McDonald's.
Went to the Cinematheque and saw Cenere ("ashes"), a silent Italian movie starring the famous Italian actress Eleonora Duse. Too bad the titles had no translation.
They introduced Canadian actors Nick Mancuso and Jennifer Dale: he's directing her in a one-woman show about Duse at the Tarragon Theatre next month. (Afterward I went up to Mancuso and told him I'd liked him in Ticket to Heaven.)
Saw Stanley Donen's Arabesque, a romantic thriller in the style of his Charade. Corny, complicated fun, with Gregory Peck showing an unusual comic flair.
We've subscribed to the DVD rental service at zip.ca. [We stayed with it for eight years!]
