Book Review: “Oh, Florida!”

Instagram

In a fresh article up on the site, we discuss “Paris Blues”, an excellent autumn movie that actually also qualifies as a jazz movie. Read all about the time two girls went to Paris and fell for a couple of expat jazzbos. #parisblues #paris #france #movie #review #moviereview #wordpress #blogger #blog #paulnewman #diahanncarroll #jazz #louisarmstrong #dukeellington
Today’s tie is Cherry Coke and it’s tied in the Murrell knot; a silly knot, really, that has the tail of the tie on top. And the phrase “wears like iron” was made for this Dacron suit - my favourite - from @haggarcanada. #fashion #clothes #suit #suits #ties #mensfashion #mensstyle #menstyle #remembranceday #www2c #churchclothes
A fresh article up on the website looks at an album most people won’t be familiar with. Before Gordon Jenkins provided lush backgrounds for @sinatra and Nat Cole, he created this delightful slice of mid-century Manhattan.

Roy Orbison endured many personal tragedies while cutting a unique swath through music history. He enjoyed one of the better victory laps although it was sadly cut short. My brand new article on Roy is up on the website.

Check This Out: now up on the website it’s a look at a colourful - if silly - film that features two comedy giants trading insults like nobody’s bidness. Pull up The Comfortable Chair and read all about it. Link in bio. #blog #review #movies #Cinema69 #1969 #60s #BobHope #JackieGleason #thecomfortablechair #vintageleisure #checkthisout #wordpress
On October 23, the great @pele turns 79. Now is a good time then to look back on a film he made in 1981 with Michael Caine and Sylvester Stallone. “Victory”, directed by John Huston, is if not the greatest sports movie ever made then it is the best “football/POW” movie ever. Also starring Spurs legend Ossie Ardiles. Read my thoughts on this great film - link in bio. #pele #sylvesterstallone #coys #spurs #tottenham #football #soccer #johnhuston #michaelcaine #movie #review #wordpress #blogger
