Each other's plans, each other's dreams

The wind chill has reduced to above zero, but it is still so bitterly cold that we inagurated the cast-iron skillet in its new home with a spider cake. A particularly delicious example of the species, too.



I do not actually wish to purchase the shooting script for The Mind Benders (1963), although I think it's neat that it's available, but I would like very much to read it. I wish this sort of thing were easier to track down. I have been wanting the screenplay for The Long Voyage Home (1940) for years.

Argh, I was in hopes this was Margery Allingham, but I don't think there ever was a movie of The Mind Readers, and I think the book was after 1963 anyway.

No, it was a typo on my part and I'm so sorry; I've fixed it. The Mind Benders was adapted from a novel of the same name by James Kennaway which I encountered in reverse order from the film, but the two were developed almost in tandem and I have been curious ever since about the intermediary stage of the screenplay. The Allingham was 1965.
