Like ghosts appear in cigarette smoke
After careful perusal of box-office figures for 1981, we have determined that my answer to that data-scraping meme in which the main character of the number-one film of the year in which you were born is now starring in the first movie you ever saw is Indiana Jones and the Dancing Cavalier. Since ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
spatch informs me that Indy was canonically born in 1899, he would be in his late twenties for the events of Singin' in the Rain (1952) and since I find it funnier to interpret this meme as a crossover rather than a substitution, I am now trying to figure out what archaeological mishegos he could be perpetrating in Hollywood that would bring him into contact with Cosmo, Kathy, and Don—and whether, depending on the nature of the mishegos and the timeline of his tenure at Marshall College, he could have Marcus with him. Inevitably, some producer is going to offer him a contract to star in an adventure serial.

And, I appreciate Mr. Powell's notes on the script. Also, his comments on the premiere. "...it had been ‘an absolute welter of sex symbols in ankle-length white mink coats. I got myself photographed with Raquel Welch, and that you have to admit is quite something for the Headmaster of a Public (Private) School’." (I do have to admit that, yes!)

I have no idea if I'm ever going to see the film, but I became very fond of Mr. Powell on the basis of this article!
"I shall thoroughly enjoy the exercise of writing the Latin. I doubt whether, in the whole history of Public Schools, any headmaster has ever written a Latin lyric for a film. But, about credits – quite seriously and honestly, I would prefer not to be mentioned. I have accepted the responsibility of helping you as much as I can over details of school life, and doing a bit of Latin composition is one of them."
