Curiosidades
Henry Moore (1898-1986) was a English sculptor who specialized in works featuring carved heads and abstract human forms, the latter often in a reclining position. As his career progressed, Moore favored very large works, many weighing upwards of 1,000 pounds, and received numerous commissions to create pieces for sculpture gardens and other public spaces. By the late-1940s his body of work was often the 'measuring stick' to which other sculptors compared their work. The statuette (likely a replica) that Tina owns is an actual piece that can be found in catalogs of Moore's work.

An Excellent Film, Not Given Enough Credit

This is by far one of my favorite little films, & just yesterday I bought it on DVD for a mere pittance ($6 & change)& settled in happily to enjoy it again. Only once in a blue moon does it turn up on artsy/independent film-type channels, so don't hold your breath looking for it on TV.

Everyone in this film is perfectly cast, & what makes it come together so beautifully is that each character in this piece exhibits faults & foibles, as we all do. It's so refreshing to watch something entertaining where the characters are portrayed as "real" - albeit flawed - people. In addition, the jazz musical score throughout the film fits the mood like a glove.

My favorite not-to-be-missed extremely funny scene? John Malkovich's "Jake", in a moment of depressed exasperation, talking aloud to himself composing his own obituary. I laugh every time I hear it - his delivery is perfect. Another favorite scene, very poignant, is when Mr. Malkovich's "Jake" phones his parents, after an apparently long absence, with the apparent intention of requesting monetary assistance. From the one-sided conversation you hear, you get an automatic insight into "Jake"'s upbringing, & perhaps why he's taken the path he has. Even though short, it's an extremely moving & insightful scene.

This movie is definitely worth renting if you can find it - but for the money, it's also worth adding to one's permanent DVD collection.
