subscribeThe blogosphere is a wonderful thing. I found Sixmartinis and the Seventh Art in my search for a decent picture of the Peter Maloney 4th Street Draw Bridge in San Francisco.
Here is her blog’s raison de être — ”What is the Significance of SIXMARTINIS? in the movie THE BIG KNIFE, Shelley Winters holds all the secrets- and she’s been drinking. Jack Palance is worried that she’ll find her voice with her sixth martini. This is my voice.”
Having not found the photographs I want, I am now inspired to return to S.F. and wait for the bridge to open so I can photograph that counterweight in action. Meanwhile, via Sixmartinis, I can catch up with some old films like, Schatten – Eine nachtliche Halluzination (1923), aka Warning Shadows, directed by Arthur Robison, cinematography by Fritz Arno Wagner and art direction by Albin Grau or Five (1951), directed by Arch Oboler, cinematography by Sid Lubow, and Louis Clyde Stouman, architecture by Frank Lloyd Wright.
