Joe, have you read David Thomson's Beneath Mulholland - in particular the essay on "films in which nothing happens", which particularly focuses on 'Meet Me In St Louis'? Especially germane to the Moran Project, I think!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip, ST. I didn't know about that. Andrew Klevan also did a very good book about films in which nothing happens - can't remember what it's called.
ReplyDeleteThe Grimethorpe Colliery Band have their moments too. Loved the list. God bless us everyone.
