Thanks, Sean D Young for your very encouraging words. I've done more vids on Ford, mostly for European companies: Long Voyage Home, Fort Apache, She Wore a Yellow Ribbon, Wagon Master.

Hi Tag! Is there anyway to see those featurettes for those living on the other side of the ocean? I'm a great fan of yours, by the way, your Ford and Rossellini books are nothing short of amazing.

Tag, your video essay on Ford in the Criterion Stagecoach Blu-Ray is a revelation. It's opened up the true way of seeing and talking about films. It's also opened up for me the world of Ford, reviving an enthusiasm for cinema first sparked in a Cinema course in college where I first saw Citizen Kane. What is enlivened is your experiential approach about emotion via motion and seeing as meaning. Thank you and now I'm on to more Ford experiences.

Thanks for your cheer. I have a video also on the Madame de disc (UK & US). Yes the shallowness, but also the richness, particularly of individuals. In "Letter," Lisa may be the epitome of shallowness, but she's incredibly rich within it. Isn't that the universal quality of humans? His stage name was Ophüls. He removed the umlaut for France. In the US, he got stuck with Opuls through the actions of Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., on "The Exile."

Hi Tag... I stumbled upon your contribution to 'Letter To An Unknown Woman' the other night... nicely done sir. I liked the lecture style format, gives another approach to the commentary option. I'd decided early last year that I'd get around to Ophuls, and bought that and Le Plasir and Lola Montes to start. What do you think of the Criterion issues? I might grab La Ronde and The Earrings of Mme De' next... I think he was demonstrating some of the shallowness in cultures below the surface, maybe in the same way Sirk did in his universal films.... and my DVD said Opuls?? in the credits.... how did that get through? thanks for the work.
