I have tried the library loan system to read some titles.
That's how I was able to read The Burglar before it was
re-issued. The original paperback was re-bound into a hard
cover. I haven't tried it recently to get Return from
Oblivion.
Hey, Jim Doherty, are you the guy in Chicago who's a big
Bernard Herrmann fan? If so, I bought some tapes from you
some years ago. Good to see you're still alive and
well.
I've seen To The Ends of the Earth, a very neat film. A
little too over-narrated but with some wonderful moments:
x-rays of the camel's stomachs to show the containers of
drugs, a flight/map montage that is very close to the one in
Raiders of the Lost Ark, hundreds of coolies attached to an
anchor chain dumped overboard to drown when the coast guard
comes near, and a great surprise villian.
