With my wife Maureen being over Broome about now tucking into Chicken Kiev at 35,000 feet on her way to a big family wedding in Penang (while I chew on a lonely cheese sandwich) I've been trying to think what movie I can put on the DVD as it's too drizzly to work in the backyard.
But then talking in my last post about Shock! Horror! headlines reminded me that in my stash of Rainy Day DVDs I possess a genuine gem 'The Paper' set in New York.
I was visiting New York about the time the movie was made and it captures the feel and mood of New York perfectly - even (in this clip) the Class War between the snobby New York Times ('The Sentinel' in the movie) and the racy 'Sun' that Michael Keaton had been promoted to but blows sky-high in this clip.
What I particularly like about 'The Paper' is it has *three* happy endings. Now who could ask for more - except for an Aussie trade unionist! (vbg!)
