Thank you for sharing it. Wish I coulda been there. But I LOVE the way you tell it! Something so special about talent for narrative! It's what makes the classic movies so great, and what makes what you write...well, so worth reading!<br /><br />Did you ever tell your dad about his too-close-for-comfort expense?<br /><br />AuroraCitizen Screenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11596338896095275116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-64719407466921241002011-11-02T22:29:44.568-04:002011-11-02T22:29:44.568-04:00Of course it was an emergency!

(a Donald Sutherland line) at each other. Dorian, I never told my Dad since the credit card was never charged--but I think he would have ultimately understood. He played a key role in my love of cinema. And Toto, it did indeed feel nice to make a sizable donation to a worthy cause.Rick29https://www.blogger.com/profile/08358116647815569722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-56575326656236738742011-11-01T21:02:39.668-04:002011-11-01T21:02:39.668-04:00Wonderful story, Rick!

BEMAD Productions sounded absolutely terrific! Maybe you can reignite it someday soon. Just out of curiosity, how did Fellini's CASANOVA go over with the audience? I watched that in a film class, and a lot of people whined about it. It's good (and not surprising) that HALLOWEEN saved the day! A great start to this month's theme, and thank you so much, Rick, for sharing your memory.sarkoffagushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00922698736476674377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-14338925661793556732011-11-01T16:11:54.616-04:002011-11-01T16:11:54.616-04:00*Whew!* Talk about suspense!

I bet your dad was glad everything worked out, too! :-) We used to run movies at my alma mater, Fordham University, and it was great fun.

I can imagine your incredible angst before the crowds finally arrived. Bless your heart! And the story about the film landing on the floor rather than on the take up reel must have been another heart-stopping moment during that experience. Best of all, I imagine you were delighted to write a good sized check to the Film Studies Office, when all was said and done, for the profits of the night when "he came home". Loved these reflections, Rick!

I dunno.. about your dad, but.. mine would have killed me, for running up such a high bill.<br /><br />It is wonderful, that you still keep in touch with your partners in crime, I mean BEMAD pals.Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03476174860119487509noreply@blogger.com
