Sinatra the star of the month on TCM

Frank is the star of the month on Turner Classic Movies. It an incredible line up of 44 films and specials. Here are my highlights:

• Higher and Higher - A great duet, "I Saw You First." (Sunday, May 4, at 9:00 p.m.)
  
• It Happened in Brooklyn - Stars with Peter Lawford and Jimmy Durate. (Sunday, May 11, at 9:00 p.m.)
  
• A Hole in the Head - Directed and produced by Frank Capra; Sinatra is executive producer. Contains the song, "High Hopes," which won the Academy Award for best song. (Wednesday, May 14, at 4:30 a.m.)
  
  According to Capra's autobiography:
  
• With a handshake, Sinatra and Capra formed SinCap Productions; he held one-third interest and Sinatra two-thirds.
  
• Problems occurred because he (Capra) found that Sinatra's acting suffered from repeated rehearsals, while Edward G. Robinson needed them. Robinson soon accepted the situation and gave a performance, which Daily Variety called "the comedy stand-out of the film."

Free at Last

My characters have made it safely out of the Food Lion. Whew. That was difficult but worth it. They are now wandering the streets of Niagara Falls. I've got to get them home... now.

I'm so glad I kept going. This writing thing is so worth the dry spots.

Back to Niagara Falls.

I'm Stuck

My characters have been stuck in the Big Lion grocery store for the last several weeks. I know what is supposed to happen, but I can't get it to happen. Poor characters. They are so hungry. You see they were buying food for a picnic in their room and they may never get to eat it.

What do you do if you get stuck? You're supposed to look at art, listen to music, get inspired. I've tried it all. The other thing is to work on something else, but I'm afraid if I quit they will stay in the Big Lion forever.

Help! How can I get unstuck?
