Just seen an intelligent 2 handed play at Theatr Clwyd ....A Splinter Of Ice
With Oliver Ford Davies as Graham Green and Stephen Boxer as Kim Philby discussing their mutual past lives and connections ...lovely to be back in the main auditorium even though there was were only 100 people in the 569 capacity theatre
It was a quality piece
But I have to admit that when I got home , I tuned into the 1964 Uk Thriller
The Earth Dies Screaming with robots, and zombies and the apocalypse set in middle England on tv
And I Loved it
Lots of sexist screaming and massively pointy breasts
And here I was thinking that the 1950s bras that caused "pointy breasts" had been long gone by 1964. Thank God!
ReplyDeleteToday it was a lovely 22*C (73*F) here with tonight's low expected to be 10*C (52*D). I could get used to this but it's very odd for late June.
Hugs!
I try to watch thoughtful, mind-enhancing movies and plays - but sometimes there's just nothing like an old Japanese monster movie, the hokier the better. Used to have many a late-night conversation (over way too many beers) in college trying to figure out just how many times did Godzilla destroy Tokyo? Now you can google it, which shortens the talk and the beers. Damn google!
ReplyDeleteOh, those pointy breasts! That's all I got out of your post, LOL!
ReplyDeleteSurely, Madonna was the Queen of Pointy Breasts, with that famous bra of hers.
ReplyDeleteThe 50s and 60s were the days of the pointy breasts and pointy shoes as well. There are times when nothing is more fun than one of those old black and white thrillers!
ReplyDeleteThe play sounds interesting. In 1964 I didn't have any breasts, pointy or otherwise. Now I do - they point South. Oh, well... xx
ReplyDeleteLike Cro, the title of your post prompted an image of Madonna for me!
ReplyDeleteAh yes, pointy breasts. I believe the culprits were 'bullet bras'. Well modelled by Lana Turner in The Postman Always Rings Twice as I fervently recall. Nowt wrong with b&w 60s sci-fi either - with one's tongue firmly stuck in cheek. You'll know what to do when the zombie apocalypse descends on Trelawnyd...
ReplyDeleteI’ve learnt something today xxx
DeleteMy sister had a friend that was surreptitiously called Pointer by the boys.
ReplyDeleteI am surprised you find pointy breasts on women interesting?
ReplyDeleteDon’t you?
DeleteNo.
DeleteFor pointy breasts I think you needed a cross your heart bra and they could poke your eye out if too close by x
ReplyDeleteOnce again I am attracted to a post purely by the title, only to be disappointed to find a film review.
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of "The Earth Dies Screaming" but I'd watch it for that title alone.
