How To Begin And Interest Letter For A Sorority

BELINDA





"Bring a little happiness to a human being ..., Belinda, I do believe I failed. "

Dr Richardson (Lew Ayres) in "Belinda"


just the third anniversary of the death of Jane Wyman , the star of "Belinda" ( Jean Negulesco , 1949). This mournful date coincided with our new visual review of this classic 7 º Arte.





Belinda Jane Wyman is


addition have become the first wife of Ronald Reagan , the world of television helped increase the popularity of the Wyman through "Falcon Crest" , successful serial of the 80 whose plot orbiting vineyards in California .




toast with Angela Channing , the matriarch of "Falcon Crest"




For his outstanding work performances in this film Negulesco, Jane Wyman won the Oscar for best actress in 1948, prize money, of course, without saying a word ... Pure performance!


From the medical point of view, "Belinda" is particularly valuable, as denounced in his time on the big screen so courageous a condition that caused the suffering and social isolation of whom suffered. Belinda lives in an archaic world, rural, puritanical, hypocritical, full of prejudice. In this regard, recently pointed out in this blog ( "My Left Foot Jim Sheridan , 1989) marginalization from earlier times have been suffering physically disabled, often considered as being reprehensible, weighed and below. But it is also interesting portrait is made of the medical profession, vocation, no civil service, altruism, selfless, paternalistic ...


more than 20 years ago, when I started to exercise even had the opportunity to meet colleagues, veterans and retirees who practice medicine in conditions comparable to those of Dr. Robert Richardson ( Lew Ayres ) permanently on guard 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Film and TV (eg "Northern Exposure" , key comedy in kind) have sacrificed Rosenberg to enlarge the figure of the rural doctor.






Lew Ayres is Dr. Robert Richardson


The Lew Ayres election was a big hit in the direction of casting . As a good friend of mine would say, " it looks like a doctor . " In " Young Dr. Kildare " ( Harold S. Bucquet , 1938) portrayed the popular physician, a fictional character invented by the writer Max Brand and since the decade of the 30 of the last century XX has continued to generate movies, radio serials, serial television and even comics.


Young Dr. Kildare (Lew Ayres) with his mentor Dr. Gillespie ( Lyonel Barrymore )


In his successful career film medical , Lew Ayres had already been highlighted in another memorable role, that of Dr. Scott Elliot in charge of dealing with the disturbing pairing of the Collins twins ( Olivia de Havilland in double role) in "Through the Looking Glass" ( Robert Siodmak , 1946) film that as a tempting offer in the future deserve individual treatment in this blog. For those interested in learning more about the life and work of this great actor:







METHOD ABATE DE L'EPEE


Dr. Robertson Belinda known to exist when you visit the remote family farm that operates in the MacDonald Cape Breton Island ( Nova Scotia - Canada ). They live poorly operated a mill and working the land from dawn to dusk Black MacDonald (rock and convincing Charles Bickford ) and her sister Aggie ( Agnes Moorehead ). The deaf girl, lost her mother, is the only daughter of the slain farmer, raised on the need and loneliness.


simple story As mentioned here that none of the exterior of this movie were filmed in Cape Breton, but California (USA) ... The doctor will note next to the huge intelligence and capabilities Belinda and decides to teach the "Method of L'Epee" to communicate with her ...



Abbe Charles-Michel L'Eppe was a renowned teacher and speech therapist eighteenth century French. His life and work details can be found at:





The real significance of L'Epee does not lie in the invention of sign language communication system that previously existed, but the introduction of mass education for deaf children, learning hitherto reserved for the aristocratic families , within which the affected learned individually.


can say without a doubt, that L'Eppe gestural method was the natural communication system of the deaf, that is, a way through which every object and associate a word that represents the image of it formed in the brain from the information provided by our eyes.


Dr. Richardson and Belinda learn sign language simultaneously, even the girl learns to read lips. One of the most emotional scenes in this film we are introduced to Belinda praying an Our Father before the coffin of his father, while the voices in off physician and Aunt Aggie's shelled prayer verse by verse. The vibrant musical background, as the rest of the soundtrack, is due to teacher Max Steiner.




In a playful scene we can also see how Belinda is able to "hear" music of the party placing her hand on the wood of a violin who cheerfully plucks a musician, even shows his sense of rhythm timidly cheering beat time with his feet, accompanying the melody ...


Dr. Richardson does not renounce its efforts to help Belinda and decides to consult the Dr. Horace M. Gray ( Jonathan Hale ) hearing pathologist who ruled the otosclerosis as cause of deafness of the protagonist. We see the doctor uses various pitches to evaluate hearing impairment Belinda, specifically the Rinne Test , which tests your hearing by bone conduction and by air . The hearing our protagonist indicates severe damage in both directions.


Alcoholism, machismo and brutality are elected by the writers to design the personality of the vile villain in this story. It is the fisherman Locky McCormick (played by a convincing Stephen McNally ) dishonoring leaving the defenseless deaf child. The result of this infamous child rape will receive name Johnny Belinda , providing the title Negulesco original film ...


also emphasize the character of Stella McCormick ( Jan Sterling ), secretly in love with the maid Dr. Richardson and ultimately be responsible for solving the narrative in favor of love, forgiveness and redemption.


As usual, it must include the following account for the Journal of Medicine and Film , in which the authors conduct a thorough review of all the films related to hearing impairment and verbal.

How Long Does Pinot Noir Keep After Opening

THE Wisp / THE TASTE OF CHERRY



Maurice Ronet is Alain Leroy in "The Wisp"
(Louis Malle, 1963)



Ersadi Homayoun is Mr. Badii in "The Taste of Cherry"
(Abbas Kiarostami, 1997)


- "There are fears, doctor. It's a heartache, continues ... The evil is in the heart of the will, is it to you heal ..."

Dr. Alain Leroy The Barbinais, in "The Wisp"


- "The word suicide is not made only for dictionaries ..., must have a ... practical application, the man has to decide when to do it ... "

Mr. Baddi the seminarian, in" The Taste of Cherry "


recently called my attention to the figures provided by the Imelga ( Institute of Legal Medicine of Galicia ), according to which in 2009 took their own lives in our region 362 people, 57 more than in 2008. Probably not influence the increase economic and social crisis that is affecting us all. Experts say suicide every 40 seconds, a neighbor on this planet ...


The mathematics of suicide should be treated with reservations because it is subject to certain inaccuracies. In all ways, always in general terms, the WHO data ( World Health Organization ) reveal that the suicide rate is higher in Europe in Latin America, and that within this geographic highest figures correspond to Cuba, Brazil and Colombia , p or this order. Nor should we dismiss the suicide attempts are 20 times more frequent than accomplished.

If there is a profile of suicide that would be the subject of a male, aged 60, who lives alone and has since retired. Among young people are also men (between 14 and 29 years) who kill themselves over.

This statistical brief introduction serves to introduce two essential films revolving around a topic still taboo. And they do from two perspectives completely divergent.

"The Wisp" ( Louis Malle, 1963) is based on the eponymous book by French writer Pierre Drieu La Rochelle, who committed suicide on March 15, 1945 after ingesting barbiturates and inhalation of gas. Intentionally shot in black and white, has an impressive cinematography due to Ghislain Cloquet. The protagonist, Alain Leroy (the once attractive lover Maurice Ronet ) is a being troubled, disillusioned with life, which wavers between alcoholism and the fear of failure of treatment. We are faced with the living image of a patient anxious and depressed ...




turn, "The Taste of Cherry" ( Abbas Kiarostami, 1997), a paradigm of auteur cinema, is a pure exercise of minimalist poetry, a term chosen by critics to ponder the Iranian filmmaker's work.


Unlike the predictable Alain Leroy, the Mr. Badii (Homayoun Ersadi ) never reveals what are the reasons that led him to think about suicide. Only search someone you can trust to help you in your task.



http://viavisual.blogspot.com/2007/07/tres-claves-para-leer-kiarostami.html


CONSIDERATIONS ON SUICIDE ...

The detailed study of both films we can find some clues that could shed light on the message that the authors tried to give us the viewers, which differs markedly from elected in his day, example, in the case of "Two Cassidy " (George Roy Hill , 1969), Mishima (Paul Schrader , 1985) or " Thelma and Louise " ( Ridley Scott, 1991).

there in" The Wisp "
a significant scene, in which Alain roams his room at the sanatorium of Dr. La Barbinais , an elegant mansion situated in the nineteenth century Versailles, where he voluntarily entered for a rest cure and alcohol detoxification. On the walls of the room hang newspaper clippings and photographs. One of the pieces of paper up to Le Parisien and announces the unfortunate death of a 5 year old, hanged man accidentally while playing bird.


Among the photographs, we see more of the ill-fated Marilyn Monroe , died August 5, 1962 in mysterious circumstances, most likely a suicide by overdose of barbiturates. We also note the profusion of portraits of Dorothy , the beautiful wife of Alain, who lives in New York and religiously paid the monthly bill processing her husband. The breakdown of the couple was motivated precisely by alcoholism. Out of these frames, Dorothy never appears in the movie ... But it does his attractive friend Lydia (Léna Skerlos ), Alain alleged mistress.

For Dorothy some argue that in reality it is a very young Margarethe Von Trotta, German actress and director ,
bride
filmmaker Volker Schlöndorff , Which in turn worked on this film as assistant director.

In a snapshot of the happy times, we can see Dorothy and Alain front of the post of second-hand books that proliferate on the banks of the Seine. He holds in his hands a copy entitled "Baudelaire" paradigm of damned poets, winners of drunkenness and big fan of alcohol and drugs ...

The protagonist of this film suffers from two major autolytic risk factors: firstly, its alcohol dependence, which only takes 4 months of abstinence, but always under a sword of Damocles called relapse, and if little, well
suffers adjustment disorder with mixed anxiety - depression ... To all this, you must join the cruel loneliness of living. We could say without fear of error that "The Wisp" is the story of a bye, a slow parting of a neighbor who is tired of living an empty existence, vicious, helpless and without love ... To accomplish its goal, Alain stored in a briefcase a pistol, a Luger P08, perhaps in his time as a military ...

While the mirror Alain has written "23 July" ("the deadline has lapsed?) On the shelf packages abound " Sweet Afton ", their favorite cigarettes: it is an Irish brand of snuff blonde became very popular during the post-World War among the bohemians, artists and philosophers of the Rive Gauche . They were also the favorite of Jean Paul Sartre and filmmakers of the Nouvelle Vague .

Perhaps intentional presence of the brand of snuff has the purpose of referring to atheism philosophical father of Existentialism , for whom suicide meant the culmination of one's freedom (as long as there were no underlying disease). Something similar happens when choosing the terrace Louis Malle Café de Flore (which Sartre had a fixed table) to the scene of the brief encounter between right-wing brothers Alain and Minville ... Just here we see how Alain takes a drink of alcohol for the first time in the film.


also proliferate in the fourth books, among which we found two very significant titles: "Babylon Revisited" and "This side of paradise" , both F. Scott Fitzgerald. In The first, considered by critics a sincere autobiographical, the controversial American writer recounts the devastation that alcohol has on the protagonist's life. precisely the script "The Last Time I Saw Paris" ( Richard Brooks, 1954) was based on this novel ...


not seem to free philosophical references. At lunchtime, in the sanatorium who directs the Dr. The Barbinais (Jean-Paul Moulinot ), patients discuss Aquinas and Aristotle . Both parents of philosophy Classic had a very similar concept of suicide:
  • Aristotle is opposed to suicide, considering it as an attack against life itself. One who commits a coward, is disgraced as a person and his "Nicomachean Ethics" considers that the suicide also hurts the rest of the citizenry.
  • St. Thomas understands suicide as a particularly perverse act, first by going against human nature (which would be provided to preserve and perpetuate life), second because it undermines the common good (depriving the family and society one of its valuable members) and finally, because it defies God, the giver of life, the owner and ruler of the same.
melancholy music of Erik Satie , represented in this soundtrack for the cream of their "Gymnopedies" and "Gnossiennes" , gives images of a depressed and lonely halo consubstantial as the meat attached to the bone forming a common whole.

When Alain leaves the hospital he returned to Paris in pursuit of his old mates raids. First visit the Hotel Du Quai Voltaire . There is reunited with Charlie the bartender ( René Dupuy) who tries to update you as he serves a Scotch Sour , his old first drink. The next stop is the house of Dubourg ( Bernard Noel), a former comrade now a parent bourgeois student of Egyptology. Both criticize their flaws and mediocrity. By the way, Dubourg wearing a fleece jacket identical to that carried on Alain rehab ... Alain

continues its journey to meet Eva (Jeanne Moreau ), disillusioned and melancholic artist for all time lost. Interestingly Alain, who has decided to take his life, regarded as absurd death in traffic accident Carla, mutual friend of both ...

While stormy rain washes the streets of Paris indolent, Alain reaches the luxurious home of Solange ( Alexandra Stewart) and Cyrille Lavaud ( Jacques Sereys ). There is here a brief reference to "King Ubu" , the iconoclastic play by Alfred Jarry . Alain

end their pilgrimage in the company of Michel Bostel Milou ( Bernard Tiphaine ), a handsome young man who strongly resembles what he was just 10 years ago. Thus the circle closes narrative, the wheel of life turns permanently ... Once reading "The Great Gatsby" (F. Scott Fitzgerald again!) Alain end up shooting yourself in the heart.




So far, the Western perception of suicide. Let's see what are now digging in "The Taste of Cherry." The warm morning light of Tehran is captured brilliantly by the director of photography Hormayon Payvar . The time puts us sometime between 1980 and 1988, interval during the Iran-Iraq war .

Kiarostami often works with non-actors, which brings its air of documentary films. A man travels the wheel of his vehicle on the city streets looking for someone. Anonymous faces offer to work as laborers. Aridity is taking over the landscape while the driver is wandering the hills surrounding the Iranian capital.

Looking for Tehran ...

A young man who runs a small construction establishment is the first choice, but wary the driver when he offers her money. The following is a laborer who collects plastic bags in a landfill and sell them later at a recycling plant. He wears a red sweatshirt with the letters "UCLA" ( University of California Los Angeles ) on the chest, although their significance is unknown. Neither accepts the offer of Mr. Badii.

The third candidate is a young recruit native of Kurdistan . The Kurds are a stateless nation, a people punished widely throughout history, and that inhabit a large area shared by Armenia, Turkey , Iran, Iraq and Syria .

Afshin Khorshid Bakhtiari is the soldier

Old farmer, the boy returned to his camp from Damavand, a mountainous area 50 kilometers northwest of the capital. His meager welded barely covers her personal needs and not enough to help his extended family. Therefore, be tempted by Mr. Badii, who finally tells him what the work involved and generous pay. In its simplest form we learn of the protagonist's suicidal.

simply note here that after the successful initial attack Iraqi in 1983 the Iranian military began to regain ground lost in the war through the recruitment of young soldiers and 200000 100000 militants. The recruit tells Mr. Badii which only takes 2 months of military service (we imagine that he was recruited by force).

Mr. Badii has decided to end his life. He has dug a grave at the foot of a tree, amid the rugged landscape. Intended to return the soldier at the scene at 6 am the following day and that in the event that Mr. Badii is dead, cover the burial ground with 20 strokes. The recruit gets scared and runs away across the field.

Ochre Land, the vast rocky, desert and dust we are and where we become are present at all times. Continuing this kind of road movie initiation, Mr. Badii drives his Range Rover up a cement plant, guarded only by an Afghan immigrant. This speaks of the visit of a friend seminarian and then Mr. Badii cleric decides to propose to help you in your particular purpose.

Mir Hossein Noori is the seminarian

While Louis Malle introduced philosophical elements in his film, Kiarostami clearly now added religious component, reminding us through this character that the Koran strongly condemns suicide, in its most orthodox (taking one's life) but we would be getting into areas cumbersome when it comes to fight the Jihad or Holy War against infidels (suicide bombers to self-destruct the hope of reaching the Garden houris).

In this case, Mr. Badii tries to convince the cleric future arguing that suicide is a mortal sin such as being unhappy, because if you can suffer harm to others: "I believe that God is so merciful suffer not see any of your creatures is so great that I can not believe you want to force us to live. So the man offered this solution ... Mr. Badii not get the help of the seminarian.

The old Mr. Bagheri crossing the threshold of his work ...

His last hope is the Mr. Bagheri ( Abdolrahman Bagheri ) working in Tehran in the Department of dissection the National Museum of Natural Sciences , someone who is accustomed to working with dead bodies, but these correspond animals. This naturally wise man tells Mr. Badii than in the past the taste a simple cherry was able to make him abandon his own thoughts of suicide. He talks about the beauty of each evening and the fullness of the full moon. It also promises to do the job, burying the body of Mr. Badii if you finally decide to kill themselves by overdosing on sleeping pills.

The unexpected ending of this film contributes to its more grandiose, a fade to black as we will not know what was really troubled the fate of Mr. Badii ...

In closing, a few lines of Cesare Pavese , which ended its existence on August 26, 1950 with an overdose of sleeping pills!. Correspond to different moments of his work "The task of living ":

  • only way to explain my current life suicide. And I know I'm doomed forever to think of suicide for any discomfort or pain. This is what scares me: my first suicide is never consummated, consumaré not ever, but that caresses my sensitivity.
  • must have felt the mania for destruction. I do not speak of suicide: people like us in love with life, the unexpected pleasure of "telling" suicide can only recklessly. Besides, suicide appears as one of those mythical heroism of those great statements of human dignity to the fate that statutory interest, but they leave us abandoned to ourselves. The self-destruct is a more desperate and time utility. The self-destruct is working to get inside any plague, any cowardice, and promote these provisions to the cancellation, searching, getting drunk with them, enjoying them. The self-destruct is definitely more confident than any winner of the past, knows that the thread of attachment to the morning, if possible, the wonderful future, a stronger cable-case of the last push, I do not know what faith or integrity . The self-destruct is primarily a comedian and master of himself. He does not waste any opportunity to feel and to prove. Is an optimist. Hopes all of life, and goes to produce refined under the hands of future event sounds sharp and significant. The self-destruct can not bear solitude. But he lives in constant danger, that it surprised a hobby of building management, a moral imperative. Then suffer without mercy, and could even kill.

Highlights For Brown Hair

MY LEFT FOOT







"Everything is nothing, therefore nothing should be end "...
Christy Brown


I've always kept alive the intention to review this movie, but for one reason or another, this analysis may have been too long in the limbo of intentions. "My Left Foot ( Jim Sheridan, 1989) is a work of art that holds a message épatant, rabidly positive, an example of overcoming starring a man who refuses to live a captive of its limitations.

A major film its undeniable value (exquisite product of the British company Granada ) and have the interpretive monument built by Daniel Day-Lewis (perfect in the role of Christy Brown ) making a show of sincerity, this film resembles the formal counterpart of another controversial film, dense and deep, as "Mar adentro" ( Alejandro Amenabar, 2004). The award-winning versatile tape Hispanic-Chilean director dared to raise on the big screen a subject considered
still taboo: euthanasia. His detractors accuse him Amenábar insisted on treating her as a hero of the controversial Ramón Sampedro, the quadriplegic committed Galician die to ease the torment of their existence.


Without actually performing the heights reached by Daniel Day-Lewis, in our humble opinion Javier Bardem also made an exceptional job, impeccable work that has been widely recognized and honored.

Ramón Sampedro Javier Bardem is

From the medical point of view we can not dismiss an element that could prove crucial: Ramón Sampedro enjoyed a life completely healthy until age 25, when he suffered that terrible accident that would leave you paralyzed after diving into the troubling waters of Furnas As beach (A Coruña ).

True Ramón Sampedro, author of "Letters from Hell"

By contrast, the Irish writer and painter Christy Brown came into the world with cerebral palsy irreversible. As we see in the film also aspired to normalcy in his life (including love), a circumstance that could recognize among his countless brothers and friends
. Like Sampedro, autolytic ideas also came to hover over the uneasy existence of Christy.

Amenábar's film, however, shows a man
conscious decision, perhaps perched on a radical position on the staff but never contemplated an ineffective rehabilitation treatment considering their results, just the opposite assumption shown by Jim Sheridan for "My Left Foot."


Daniel Day-Lewis in the skin of Christy Brown

claim has never been this blog become the judge of his fellows; to better understand and Christy Brown Ramon Sampedro recommend a simple exercise: try to remain motionless on the bed for some time, moving only the head, or trying to make a drawing on paper by holding the pen with the fingers left foot ... Do not forget that the decisions of both patients were taken by free people and that every story, in turn, inspired a great film. Let's enjoy the movie ...

CHRISTY BROWN'S DISEASE

Based on the film, cerebral palsy experienced by this character probably complications arose during delivery (Dublin, June 5, 1932). Surely, fetal distress caused severe cerebral hypoxia in the newborn. A nurse was responsible for giving bad news to the portly Paddy Brown ( Ray McAnnaly ), a mason by profession and angry father of a large brood in which Christy ranked 10 th among 22 siblings, those who survived 13.

Christy Brown (1932 - 1981), poet and Irish painter

our hero's childhood passes in a monotone, virtually abandoned as a bundle under the stairs of his humble abode in the midst of a proletarian Irish Catholic family where the mother (Brenda Fricker impressive, awarded the Oscar for best supporting actress in 1989 ), despite remaining pregnant most of their reproductive life, plays a key role as the true home support. She lovingly protects his disabled son in penury save to buy a wheelchair, while everyone else take it for a poor sick useless, especially the father, who thinks Christy is also a moron, incapable of understanding and feeling .

note is the superb interpretation Christy does the young child actor Hugh O'Conor Dublin, which then had 14 years of age, and today continues to develop his successful career.

Hugh O'Conor is the young Christy Brown

In real life, Ms.
Bridget Brown was the first that percartarse Christy's disability was physical only, without affecting their cognitive abilities, taking care to teach reading and writing. His brothers admitted as one in their raids for children and adolescents, always carrying the boy in an old invalid wooden wheelbarrow.


appears that Christy suffered a severe type of cerebral palsy athetoid , with tetraplegia almost completely, except precisely in his left foot. As reflected in the film the most characteristic symptoms of this disease are very frequent involuntary movements, which hinder or impede normal body dual motility, involvement of the tongue and slurred speech, accompanied by facial grimacing and also an abnormal muscle twitching limbs. It is estimated that the pathophysiological basis of this disorder lies in the damage of the basal ganglia brain.


appears that his case was discovered by Mrs. Katriona McGuire, a social worker responsible for the poorer classes in the suburbs of Dublin. He probably visited the matriarch of the Brown while he was admitted to the hospital (the Rotunda Maternity Hospital , the first European maternity, founded in 1745) to give birth to a 21 º child. In the film, Christy would have 19 years ...


then contacted Katriona pediatrician and writer renowned Irish, Dr. Robert Collis, who took over boy's treatment. Subsequently, the two struck up a close friendship and even Collis would help write his autobiography, "My Left Foot (1954), a book that was based Jim Sheridan to write together with Shane Connaughton the script of this film.

An anecdote as subsection. Rotunda is located next door to the "Conway's Pub" , A famous shop where traditionally
prospective parents drowned his impatience with a few pints of porter.

In Conway's ...

Since that trip to Ireland I keep in my library a copy of "Irish Masters of Medicine" (Editorial Town House) written by Prof. Dr. Davis Coakley , which devotes a chapter devoted entirely to the life of Dr. Collis.

This exceptional pediatrician, defended the colors of the Irish national rugby team while studying medicine, completed his specialization the prestigious John Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore (USA ) , was a contributor to the Red Cross children aiding prisoners of concentration camp Bergen-Belsen , after liberation by the allies (even adopted two of these kids). From 1957 he continued his career in Nigeria , becoming director of the department of pediatrics at the Medical School Nigerian of Ibadan . Medical vocational and restless after retiring worked partly in a colony of patients Dichpalli lepers (India ). He died in 1975. A real movie character ... but do not appear in this film. Will Dr. Eileen Cole (Fiona Shaw ) the fictional manager of the rehabilitation treatment of Christy Brown ...

A happy ending?

social recognition came to Christy Brown for his exceptional artistic skills. However, in the movie they suggest his problems with drinking, Expoliva for his disappointment in love. It is also licensed by the fictional character Mary nurse
( Ruth McCabe), which, like a flashback know the fascinating story of Christy as you read his autobiography. This figure would represent Mary Carr, wife of the protagonist's true. Both were married in 1972 and the film ends with a happily married couple looking Dublin from a hill.

The reality was quite different. According to the authorized biography published in 2007 by the English writer Georgina Hambleton ( Mainstream Publishing - Edinburgh), Mary Carr was a former prostitute before she married bisexual had lived in London (1968 - 1969) with one of the friendly Sean Brown, brother of Christy. She abused alcohol and drugs. Both have met at a party in London in 1971.

Mary & Christy, "happy times?

Our protagonist died in 1981, smothered in dark circumstances. His health had been deteriorating steadily. Mary was the cause of family estrangement Chisty. The couple lived drunk and say that at the time of the postmortem examination, there were multiple wounds.
Mary Carr died in 2006.

And finally, a gift to our ears, though the film's music was composed and conducted by Maestro Elmer Bernstein , the opening credits of this film appear on the musical background "A romantic aura" , aria belonging to comic opera "Cosi fan tutte" of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart . Here is a superb interpretation thereof by the Swedish tenor Nicolai Gedda :
