What a lovely rounding off of your night's discomforts, a kind of redemption.

I just wouldn't mind keeping the acquaintance of some people I've met in dreams . . .

Not sure I can let it sit there much longer.

I should warn you that I am, and have been, very curious to hear your thoughts on it.

Absolutely love your character study of Carradine's Casy -- another film I've yet to see.

I do recommend it!

(I have in fact enjoyed everything I've seen by John Ford, although The Long Voyage Home is far and away my favorite; those are my quirks. The Grapes of Wrath is a much closer second than I expected. Stagecoach, oddly, has impressed me the least; I'm thinking I should try it again, after which I should be able to tell whether it's me or the movie.)

I think Criterion should not wait for you to donate your brain to them after you're done with it but should simply hire you, now, and put you to work sharing your passion for everything you love in their catalog. We'd all be enriched thereby.

Thank you. I wish. I have been writing them with suggestions, but I suspect otherwise they don't know me from spam . . .
