The Internet Archive was down for about 7 hours yesterday, due to a power outage in San Francisco. Of course, there are conspiracy theories smh. They should invest in some backup servers elsewhere.

sovay recced Gwynne Garfinkle's The Last Word, a poem about the 1935 film Mad Love.

Laridian on Pillowfort posted an assortment of couple photos from the first half of the 20th century (het warning, lol). They make for great pose references.

Ethel Vance's Escape, which I heard is worse then the film. Boy.

Helen McInnes's Above Suspicion, and it appears good ol' Hassie is a movie-only character :(

J. Storer Clouston's The Spy in Black, which does not have the Pressburger touch, but I quite liked the first chapter. Simple, but it paints the picture nicely.

I am so glad you liked it!

I have in fact not been able to cope with the absence of Pressburger's inspiration when throwing myself at this novel before, but you may encourage me to give it another try. (Ironically the most I have ever writen about that film was for Sebastian Shaw.)

[edit] I am not sensible about Powell and Pressburger, but especially not about Pressburger.

Fab poem! Its 'The Bride of Frankenstein' with an added extra of 'Mad Love' flavouring.

I like the photos of the ladies a foot above the men:)

The photos are great! I followed it back to the tumblr link, since I don't have a Pillowfort, but they were very cool indeed.
