I've signed on for a new mental adventure: writing previews for the 11 Burt Lancaster movies coming to the local 50-seater microcinema in November (noting the 100th anniversary of Lancaster's birth in 1913.)
The first film is Criss Cross (1948): below, Burt with director Robert Siodmak and costar Yvonne DeCarlo.
I suggested this preview project to the arts editor of the TC Daily Planet ("an experiment in participatory journalism, built on a partnership between professional journalists and individual citizens"), and he said, do it!
I've actually never paid much attention to Lancaster, and I'm eager to get started... but first I have to finish the sanitation book (due Oct. 3).
