Mad men 

Once I took out this DVD series, when I saw the Negro janitors and elevator men and no one else I knew once again Hollywood was in a Happy Days moment.

I watched an episode, and then returned it.  That was a mistake.  As in life, things are not always what they appear.

Don Draper, womanizer, family relation hater and of course the big man on campus.

If the Sopranos gave a different light to the mafia family Mad Men gives a different light to those who were called the greatest generation, (the WW 2 fighters who were middle aged in the early sixties).

I’m reading another book.  After this second novel, I think I will go back into nonfiction.

See my book Character within the Screenplay

In Hollywood UK Alexander Walker has a perfect quote.  “To be an Englishman in the film industry is to know what it‘s like to be colonized.

Today the reverse effect has taken place name any blockbuster and it is an Australian, Englishman or Scotsmen who has taken over the industry.

But this book will serve as research for my continued effort to write a book on world film

Until then you enjoy Siolam.

 One more thing about the sixties, my mother worked she was not called girl,

 But according  to the preface of Walker’s book 90% of the finance for films in Britain was by the Americans and they left in the seventies for further venues. So if you  want to work you go where the action is in today’s films, everything has a China connection.

Think about that Hollywood is out to make a dime.  Sometimes it does as in  Silver Linings Playbook and other times it does not as in Burnt.
