Black Money: A Lew Archer Novel by Macdonald, Ross , Paperback
Sep 21, 2020
One of Macdonald's best in a sturdy edition
If one is a fan of murder mysteries, Ross Macdonald novels always offer good reading, with their fa=st pace, complex situations and solutions, and accomplished style. "Black Money" is a late addition to the author's opus and is, I think one of his best.
This large print edition is unusually sturdy for a paperback whodunit and has survived the rather severe twisting and turning it endured while I was reading it in bed or in an armchair.

Excellent set lets you compare both versions of great TV series
I saw the original 6 Scenes from a Marriage television series on Danish TV, with Danish subtitles, in the 1970's and saw the heavily-edited single telecast some years later on PBS and regretted the excisions from one of Bergman's greatest creations. Therefore, I was happy to obtain the three-disc DVD edition, which lets you see and compare both versions and which provides some excellent special features as well. As another reviewer noted, it is good that both versions are presented in the original Swedish with English subtitles. Dubbing would have destroyed much of Johan and Marianne's smugness in the first episode and would have removed much of the fury, passion, and pain in episodes 4-6. The condensed version badly foreshortens the dissolution of the marital relationship and, in removing the TV serial framing of the story, removes an element that kept millions of eyes glued to European TV screens week after week to see drama that "hit them where they live." Being able to see both versions lets you decide which version you prefer. The enormous success of the TV series in Europe in all socioeconomic groups shows that high-quality drama can succeed on TV when presented with honesty and immediacy by a great artist. The video quality on the discs is fine, which is remarkable for a 30-plus-years-old TV series transferred to another medium.

Still a classc
Product arrived promptly. Film is a classic--a few misfires and a few (in 2020) anachronisms but still entertaining, with great performances by zero Mostel, Gene Wilder, Kenneth Mars and others--plus fantastic musical numbers ("Springtime for HItler," "Prisoners of Love).
