Sat morning Sept 1

Last night was terrific.  Got back too late to report so here's last night program:
Ginger & Rosa was about 2 teenage girls in the early 1960s England struggling with adolescence, family issues and social protests about nuclear disarmament (Cuban Missile Crises era). Elle Fanning was superb.  I could relate to the sentiment about the threat of nuclear bombs, and recall asking my parents to build a bomb shelter around that time.
Then we saw a most interesting new documentary about Marilyn Monroe.  The filmmaker introduced it to us & explained how new diaries, letters, etc were recently uncovered, which became the basis of the profile.  We both thoroughly enjoyed it.
We're off now to what we hope will be a 4 film day.
