They have, Slim, I thought you would be interested

Years ago I saw a film version of Mozart's "The Magic Flute". The film was made in Sweden as "Trollflöjten". For me the highlight was the Papageno/Papagena duet. Papageno was played and sung by Håkan Hagegård, Papagena by Elisabeth Erikson.

This is that highlight:

The film was directed by Ingmar Bergman and is his most watchable film.

The girl seen at the end of that clip was Helen Friberg in an uncredited role. Although other people in the audience are seen at times, the film treats her as the focal point during the opera.

Slim, not much new of interest on the Talking Pictures tv channel during the coming week.

On Wednesday at 8.20 am there's "Borderline" (1950) about 2 law enforcers (Fred MacMurray and Claire Trevor) sent to Mexico to infiltrate a gang of drug smugglers but neither is aware of the other's real identity. Raymond Burr also in the cast.

On Friday at 18.30 is a film which is unlikely to appeal to you but might appeal to some. It's a French film called "La Bataille du Rail"/ "Battle of the Rails" (1946) which was directed by René Clément (his debut). A war film about railroad workers in the French resistance attempting to sabotage the Germans. A largely amateur cast of actual railway workers. Narrated by Charles Boyer.

A BBC collection of 9 photo images of the recreation of some of the events associated with the river Thames either historical or cultural.. Note that the 4th one depicts people looking at the stranded whale which died back in 2006 and the 8th is a reflection of those who have died in the river over the years.

In those recreations the one based on Millais' Ophelia painting is remarkably close to the original, The one based on Waterhouse's The Lady of Shalott is very close but the photo's colours aren't as vibrant as the original.

The Lady of Shalott is based on Tennyson's poem of that name which was based on an Italian piece of writing called Donna di Scalotta.

Nothing to do with the type of onion called shallot

I think the Ophelia painting was done near where I used to live

The Wallace Collection is good. The Laughing Cavalier - that was once a table mat. Still got them.

Glasgow Boys at Kelvingrove 2010 was mega.

James Guthrie..

It was painted on the bank of the Hogsmill river in Ewell, Baz

My father did one painting which he kept. It was a small copy of Constable's The Hay Wain . It was quite good and instantly recognisable.
