Note to self

JSB's "Adagio for Organ and Strings" is the melancholy little number that plays a time or two in Orson Welles' film version of The Trial.

:rofl:

nobody replied to mine about Eternal Fascism in GD Politics.
So there.
;-)

It helps me keep track.

And jpgray things Orson Bean directed the film.

I'll just bet you're aware that today is JSB's birthday!

I hadn't been aware of Bach's birthday. When I posted I had just heard the tune on the classical station and had remembered the film from my first viewing, which happened during my second-to-last blissful period of unemployment (three summer months in 1983 in Washington, DC), when I first saw the movie one afternoon at the National Gallery of Art.

Thanks for the note on Bach.

In one episode of M*A*S*H, Radar wanted to impress this nerdish/hottie nurse, so he pretended to be an intellectual. One of the doctors gave him some catch-phrases to use when chatting the nurse up. One of them was "Ah...Bach.", with his hand on his chin in a contemplative pose.

""What does that mean, 'Ah, Bach'?" is a quote from that episode of a TV program, an episode that appaprently looms large in your TV-watching life." is a quote from the episode of Facts of Life where Mrs. Garrett catches Blair Warner terrorising three documentary film-makers in the woods.

the more recent version with Kyle McLachlan?

Maybe I need to see the Perkins one again, it's been rather awhile.

Haven't seen the Kyle, but am aware of some of the many flaws of the Orson version.

But it's the most sensible and cultured one in the entire thread. Nay! in the entire DUniverse.

listen to my last words any world
