...received a summons last month ordering her to report for jury duty in August. Since Mousam ignored the summons, along with an enclosed form that permits prospective jurors to offer reasons for declining to serve, her housemates, Social Workers David Christian and Lia Graceffa, took charge. Christian checked a box indicating that Mousam could not speak English. Graceffa added, "Cat Mousam is not qualified to serve as a juror because...
...seventh, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984) eighth, Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977) 15th, and Gremlins (1984), which he did not direct but developed and "presented," 17th.

...Written on the Wind (directed by the Dane Douglas Sirk) or effervescent comedies like Some Like It Hot and The Apartment (both directed and co-written by the Austrian Billy Wilder) or the sleek thrillers of London-born Alfred Hitchcock. Audrey Hepburn, from Belgium, was crowned princess of the box office; Cary Grant, from Bristol, was still the monarch of masculinity. Everyone was so assimilated that you couldn't spot the immigrants without a security check. American films, once an obsession, were now an agreeable habit, as the rest of the world began attending to its own dreams and nightmares...
