It's outsider art, provokes every emotion
According to the specialist I saw this morning at an hour that afforded me less than two hours of sleep, what goes on with my eyes is not an infection but a consequence of allergies because the trees are sexting overtime this year. I can come off the ointment that has been blurring my vision and start on two different kinds of drops which have not as yet unblurred it. I knew I should have held out for that initiate of Mithras.
Thanks to recent adventures in watching Harry Morgan, I realized that the close-ups of him as Claude Packard at the end of The Well (1951) are horizontally flipped. I had thought at the time that it was a continuity error in terms of costume, but it's not just the bandage that changes sides on his forehead, it's the bruise on his other cheek, and I had overlooked the parting of his hair because of the mud in it, but Morgan had a really distinctive lopsided smile and it finally struck me it was starting from the wrong side. I am guessing it was done for 180° rule reasons, but the mirror effect once seen is so distracting that for my own Tumblr-like satisfaction, I flipped a screenshot the real-world correct way. The film remains underseen and invaluable and I wish Kino Lorber or Criterion or Indicator or so forth would give it the restoration and proper home release it deserves. Until such time, here's Harry Morgan covered in mud.

Growing up watching him in MASH, I always appreciated his lopsided smile because I too have one and people gave me a lot of crap about it as a child - but there's someone on TV who has one too!

I recently had several months of an eye problem that I finally managed to successfully treat, and I wish you quick success with yours.
