One of my favorite movie memories is LIFEBOAT, an early Alfred Hitchcock. See, when I was little, TV was new, and the stations filled a lot of time slots with movies of the thirties and forties. LIFEBOAT was released in 1944. Like many “bottle plots”, the characters are a random collection of types who show their true selves. If it’s a good plot, they have character arcs. If it’s a very good plot, their character arcs are consistent with their true selves.
LIFEBOAT fills the bill. Plus, it stars Tallulah Bankhead. If you’ve never seen Tallulah Bankhead and you have four-and-a-half minutes, watch this:
You’re welcome.
Anyway, LIFEBOAT. Highly recommended.
I leaned hard into fall this week (or autumn, for my non-American-speaking readers).
The base colors are dark brown, dark red, light brown, and orange. The stamping is done with light brown on the dark base and dark brown on the thumb, bright red on the dark red, light orange on the dark orange, and dark orange and glittery gold for the pumpkin.
