The Blithe Spirit remake and the ghosts of movies past

15th January 2021 by Sarah Leave a Comment

He studies books in the library to assess whether he’s entitled to a hearing; or he’s cleaning the floors with his mop and metal bucket. Or he’s watching cassettes of old comedies, the shiny white brick walls of his narrow cell decorated with… Stanley A Man Of Variety Read More
