  Hollywood sul Tevere 2009

  ★½ Watched 15 Jan 2025

  Disappointing. A collection of incredible newsreels and behind-the-scenes footage loosely held together with expository narration but ultimately the doc has nothing to say except that a lot of famous Hollywood folk worked in and/or visited Rome between 1950 and 1970.

  The Pajama Game 1957

  Watched 29 Mar 2020

  Wow! Labour relations 👍🏻 Dodgy sexual politics 👎🏻 Bob Fosse choreography 👍🏻 V bland leading man (John Raitt) 👎🏻 Doris Day 👍🏻 No functional HR procedures at pajama factory 👎🏻 Costumes 👍🏻 Carol Haney dancing 👍🏻 

  Not what was I expecting.

  Wonderful. Spry, very funny and slyly political. File under 'essential viewing'.
