Topic: World View
Georges Feydeau
The new issue of the parent to this web log - Just Above Sunset - is now on line. Check it out – particularly the fancy photography.
And see Our Man in Paris: Hands Off My Holiday! for Paris news and five photographs from Ric Erickson, editor of MetropoleParis. Cool.
This afternoon he sent this along.
Ah…Late for this issue of JAS, but Paris has been treated to an unusual film poster this week. The problem is that it was only shown placed high on poles; usually too high to avoid worse reflections that usual. Film is 'Un fil a la patte,' based on a play by Georges Feydeau. Directed by Michel Deville, it starts Wednesday, 27 April. Previewed on France-2 TV news Sunday, 24 April.
Avoir un fil a la patte - To be tied down (literally: "to have a thread at the leg").
Feydeau is always fun. Somehow this will get into JAS. Amusing!
There are always productions of La puce a l'oreille – but never Occupe-toi d'Amelie for some reason. Oh well.
Hortense dit: “J'm'en fous” - rendered in English as Hortense says, “I Don't Give a Damn.”
But I do. He’s good.
