inspiring stuff: "duel" (1971) by steven spielberg

for anyone who has never seen steven spielberg's 1971 made-for-tv hit "duel" do yourself a favor and check this off your bucket list. highly inspirational stuff - particularly considering spielberg filmed the entire project in 12 days at just 21 years of age. MAD i tell you, MAD and brilliant!!

breakfast, blake and the beverly wilshire...

i just finished reading a book that is generating mega-hype in the u.s at the moment. "fifth avenue 5.am: audrey hepburn, breakfast at tiffany's and the dawn of the modern woman" by sam wasson. the highlights? discovering details about henry mancini's work ('moon river' was, in fact, first given the green light after being performed on a piano at the beverly wilshire hotel) and background scoops relating to blake edwards filming the famed party scenes. i particularly loved this film review from british magazine, photoplay:

'if you're an audrey hepburn fan - who isn't? - you may have some difficulty in picturing her as a new york playgirl. miss hepburn, an elegant thoroughbred, just doesn't look like the type of girl who would live strictly for kicks. yet here she is, turning out the performance of her life, in a new picture, breakfast at tiffany's, as - what the americans call - "a real kookie dame!"

merci magdalena!!!
