Our Man in Europe: HOTEL DAVE: take 6: "Eagle in a Cage"



HOTEL DAVE:  "Eagle in a Cage"


...Watched the above entitled Movie on my laptop; 'Bout Napoleon in exile on St. Helena... Fabulous cast. Ralph Richardson, as always; beyond excellence. Billie Whitelaw; predictably superb. And U see just WHY John Geilgud is CALLED John Geilgud...?
Phenomenal.
The young(er) supporting cast... amongst such Thespian "illuminati", rally, predictably.
A work (the film), also predictably;
Hollywood & the "masses" passed on by.

ART rarely conveys such strategic moments of World History...so succinctly.
This work does just that....and bleeds,
like an "eagle in a cage".

Yesterday was the 1st of May. "May Day".
 In Italy? A public holiday. All the shops were closed.
Couldn't buy Smokes. The only 2 business's open?
The Pakistani Inter-net Cafe...and the HOTEL DAVE.
It rained ALL day.

The next day? (I think it's Sheffield Wednesday)
The sun came out.
