Shadow of a Doubt. One of the films Hitchcock thinks his best, with Joseph Cotton playing a psychotic murderer hiding in a small town behind his mild-mannered exterior. Technically, this is one of Hitchcock's subtlest films. This lack of ostentation is what makes it so effective...
SUPERMAN, then, is the only character who is supposed to be a klutz, and he doesn't shine as much as he could with so much competition from the rest of the crew. But Raphael Cohen, in his dual role as the Man and particularly as mild-mannered reporter Clark Kent, is still a strong actor. Obviously, the two poses require completely opposite attitudes. Superman is the focal point of everybody's existence: Lois adores him, the populace sing his praises daily, while a jealous scientist and a columnist for The Daily Planet hate him and drive the plot with...
...that Salome, objectively speaking, poses much of one. While she initially allows herself a few mild objections to Freud's titanic pessimism, Salome's case for a better, potentially more creative human nature than Freud would assent to dwindles through the train of her letters. Freud, of course, is not the only corrosive element at work on her optimism. There was after all the war, whose effects are very much present in both sides of the correspondence. And there is the matter of aging. In this respect, the later letters offer a warmer, more gentle, and sometimes whimsical picture...

...this: If he was my friend, and I had to introduce him to someone, I'd say: This is Randy Newman, one of the five weirdest people I know. His critical (not commercial, by any means) success has to be attributed to his imagination, coupled with an authentic mild musical genius -- he is an excellent arranger and composer, even if he has no voice to speak of. I would go to see him just to hear him sing, "Cleveland, city of magic/Cleveland, city of Light." That's just sick...
