Cary Grant and Eva Marie Saint in the MGM/Alfred Hitchcock thriller North by Northwest, 1959.
Possibly one of the most seductive scenes ever on celluloid!

Scritti Politti - Lions After Slumber [Green] | jt1674
Did we all share a sudden short period of feeling it for GREEN? Just me then!
Merle Haggard - Holding Things Together (1974) | Guess I’m Dumb
Merle Haggard - Holding Things Together (1974)
Devastating story of a family falling apart. Merle was a brilliant songwriter.
Today was Angie’s birthday, I guess it slipped your mind
I tried twice to call you, with no answer either time
But the postman brought a present I mailed some days agoI just signed it “Love, from Mama” so Angie wouldn’t know
The Mamas & the Papas - Mansions (1968) | Guess I’m Dumb
The Mamas & the Papas - Mansions (1968)
I’ve been reading All the Leaves Are Brown, the story of the rise and fall of the Mamas & the Papas. I’m not the biggest fan, but the book has been enjoyable - lots of stuff about the recordings, mixed in with all the interpersonal drama. This is one of the better tunes on their 4th LP, recorded as they were falling to pieces. It’s a classic “pity poor me, living in a exclusive Bel Air, but I’m still not happy”. Nonetheless, John Phillips talent with vocal arrangements shines through.
Limousines and laughter,
Parties ever after.
If you play the game, you pay the price
