@Devo

Halford also claims to be “out of work and down”. Eh? Gold record! You’re doing fine, Rob. It’s one lie after another.

I don’t understand why they were robbing the bank in the first place. Seeing as they were there to recover their OWN Gold disc of ‘British Steel’. Surely they could have just sent Rob Halford in with 2 forms of I.D and a current utilities bill and they could have saved the trouble.

“You don’t know what it’s like” Screams Halford upon its retrieval.
“i just want a nice cup of tea and some sensible trousers but i’ve got a reputation to uphold”, he can be heard to sing as they drive off into the sunset.

Ha! Shirley was all things to all people, such was her curly-headed ability to beguile. Ever single one of her films has a radical subtext though. Every single one.

I do love American films from the early-mid 30s. You see the last flowering of a popular “Working Man/Woman” VS “Heartless authority figure” sentiment. One soon to be swept away when the Commies became the ultimate bad guys.

Hmm, wasn’t every Shirley Temple movie all about her pleasing daddy in one incarnation or another? The one with the bandaged dude she slobbered over sticks out in particular. I’ve always pegged her as a collaborator, a lap cat of patriarchy, if you will. And she was the torment of Picola Breedlove in Toni Morrison’s “The Bluest Eye.”
I’m kidding, of course.
