Armageddon Time Movie Review
Writing that mirrors real life accurately is so difficult. The text here is so free of imposed conventions and false facades, it makes you realise how infrequently we are given words this eloquent and free of contrivances.

The German bombing of England was relentless and lasted eight months. This led to the death of 43.000 poor souls.

Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris Movie Review
Underlining the frivolities is some consistent commentary on the class system and the vanity and entitlement that the upper classes feel they are entitled to.

Mrs Harris ekes out a living cleaning the houses of the well-to-do.
