A great return to form by Mick.
Another strong performance by Mr. Kijii. And ditto the ever dangerous Julie.
A fine puzzle from our host, and I'm not just saying that because there were two Cassavetes films!

Apologies extended to all GG players for the delay in posting the traditional post-contest Commentary. The explanation:
While sitting around last evening's after-repast campfire, one wrangler pulled out and passed around a jug of homemade hooch. The next thing I remember was washing up on the beach at Waikiki!
The promised Commentary will be posted as soon as the QM returns to having only one head atop his shoulders.

A Letter to Three Wives 200. Ann Sothern 063. Kirk Douglas a final cut miss, Kijii -- was so close to being used I loved this movie. I really enjoyed the relationship between Linda Darnell and Paul Douglas as the trains rolled by and shook the house. What do I remember most about this movie? That Kirk Douglas corrected someone about the difference between "feeling badly" and "feeling bad." Ever since seeing that (in the movie) I have always tried to remember not to use an adverb when what you are saying requires an adjective. Here's another example of Kirk's dislike of radio ad people.

Good memories and good points about LETTER, Kijii. As a high school teacher myself, I really appreciated Kirk's performance.
After Linda Darnell first meets Kirk, she tells rich husband Paul Douglas that he seems like a nice man. Paul's dismissive retort: "He's a teacher -- he hasn't got a dime!"
My favorite scene -- Paul Douglas and wife Darnell have a domestic spat while sitting in a car. She exits, angrily slamming the door. The frustrated hubby takes out a cigarette, pushes in the car lighter, ignites his smoke, vigorously shakes the lighter -- then thoughtlessly tosses it out the opened car window!
