July 16, 2004

Dreamed of Huckleberry Finn's Missouri; actor Victor Mature.

Went shopping.

Got Maurice Horn's 100 Years of Newspaper Comics, along with a Prince Valiant comic, and some Menomonee Falls Gazette issues.

Read the first episodes of Prince Valiant, from back in 1937.  Great storytelling. (Who care's that it's in black and white here?)

Dinner was roast chicken.

Saw Days of Glory at the Cinematheque.  It's a documentary about the anti-fascist resistance movement in Italy in World War II.  I staryed for Luchino Visconti's La Terra Trema ("the earth moves"), a neorealist tale about a family in a Sicilian fishing village trying to better their lot.  Long but powerful.
