The Silver Screen Oasis

Have a great birthday, Fernando!

Thanks my dear friends for your warm and sincere wishes! Today I'm having a hectic day at work but I plan to be at home around 7 PM 7:30PM, because my folks, brothers and a couple of friends will go to share a piece of cake and a cup of tea with me.

I'll let you know about my Movie-related gifts!!!

Late to the party as usual but I hope you have a grand rest of the day. You know there is something to be said for birthday weeks.

Thanks Chris!

I received some very interesting movie related gifts:

Deanna Durbin's DVD "Mad About Music"!
The TCM 2010 DVD Catalog!
The Criterion DVD Release of Georges Franju's Les Yeux sans Visage (Eyes Without a Face) -1959!
The Criterion DVD Release of Leo McCarey's Make Way for Tomorrow!
A Book released in Spain about the Pivotal films of the Musical Cinema!
Tasche'ns Movie Icons book on Marlene Dietrich (full of great pictures)!

And on its way from the USA and hopefully arriving soon:

George O'Brien-A man's Man in Hollywood by David Menefee (Book)!
Anita O'Day- Incomparable! (CD)
Cary Grant Screen Legend Collection (Boxed set with 5 Paramount films)!
"M" (Peter Lorre) The Criterion Collecton Blu-Ray!

I am a very lucky & fortunate person surrounded by people who love me and care for me. What more can I ask?

And I got many other very thoughtful stuff: wines, delicious chocolates, a delicious cake, an invation to lunch, novels, historical books, sportif accesories for jogging, fine leaf tea from Whittard, a beautiful plant, an invitation to a Theatre play function, a wonderful electronic device for brewing fine tea, etc. What's the most important thing is the care & thoughtfulness my wife, relatives and friends put in choosing the gifts. You have friends and love & you have everything that matters. You have only things alone and it is not the same.

What a nice sentiment to start the
day with... I send my regards late, with instructions to enjoy a movie and a chocolate! Hope this year brings you all you wish for, my friend.

Thank you Birdy!

I changed it to Ann because she will be honored on TCM's Summer Under the Stars this month with a day of films, including Naughty but Nice. Here's a bigger pic of the lobby card if you want to snag it (Consider it my birthday gift!):

Thanks Mr. Ark... She looks really "naughhhhtyyy"

Happy Belated Birthday, Fernando. Shame on me for missing this thread.

Thank you Joe.
