I think the argument (about whether artists are worthier of life than other more humdrum people) would have lost some of its force if Dirk had been required to wear Tolstoy's beard.Roderick Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16828395545197001637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13609842.post-46940843721724372572011-04-17T08:55:11.281+01:002011-04-17T08:55:11.281+01:00In a referendum, I would vote for a luciform sac i...In a referendum, I would vote for a luciform sac if only for reasons of euphony.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06972049290586377462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13609842.post-25552687411966934702011-04-16T18:11:48.556+01:002011-04-16T18:11:48.556+01:00:~)

I checked the IMDB and found that that version of the movie appeared in 1958 (which is when I saw it) and I must have been so entranced by Alastair Sim as the surgeon, Cutler Walpole, that I misheard or, more likely, misremembered his limpid dialogue. If I had to suffer from either I'd prefer the incorrect one on the grounds of its greater euphony. I think this qualifies as a left-handed tribute.Roderick Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16828395545197001637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13609842.post-57196544107243709562011-04-15T19:15:42.339+01:002011-04-15T19:15:42.339+01:00I thought it was the nuciform sac?I thought it was the nuciform sac?Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09764296105901909328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13609842.post-57578161519951038552011-04-15T18:21:08.879+01:002011-04-15T18:21:08.879+01:00Dimly reminiscent of the Doctor's Dilemma: one...Dimly reminiscent of the Doctor's Dilemma: one of the society doctors specialised in stimulating the phagocytes and the other in removing the Luciform sac (which had no function and which was no loss to the patient). Happily for Brittany's Best Blogger the sac was named before she was born and is therefore a burden she need not bear.Roderick Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16828395545197001637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13609842.post-36152509928216906562011-04-15T17:47:46.213+01:002011-04-15T17:47:46.213+01:00Terrific series, your bench pictures.
