The town is slowly emptying, the inhabitants are moving to large cities in the hope of finding a better future there.

Revision 2: USA 1951 that has to be the most missed period for me: dinners, pool halls, cinemas and the radio that plays fantastic music all day long. The good is now gone thanks to pulp books, Hollywood and Hank Williams. Oh and of course the beautiful design of everything. The question is whether it actually looked as beautiful as in the great black and white of this film. Masterpiece!

Poetry, it is not every day that I attach such a loaded term to a film, but today is such a day. Months after viewing this cinematic work of outrageous proportions, snippets of beauty from this film still race through my mind at contemplative moments. I'd do all the bits and pieces that appeal to the imagination, but I won't, because I'm afraid my trumpet won't sound loud enough for this work of art. By the way, that Cybill Shepherd also took a good look, except for her beautiful face, by taking place in 2 of the best films ever (the other is Taxi Driver of course). Such a cuddly femme fatale in the making, what man does not succumb to it.
