Are Those Celluloid ‘Ghosts’ Really ME?! There were too many dreams, far too many dreams.... yet, how I loathe ‘reality’! for I am not the man I planned, nor will ever be. but “Godfre B. Daniels”.... play that ol’ time peeeano, Sammy, “Play it again, Sam!” for I’ve got the Bogie-gart blues! but, the song...the song... what can be wrong?!... all the ‘magic’ is gone and who’s taken Gene Kelley’s shoes?! even the wizard is lost poor Dorothy is dead and the ‘King’ doesn’t sing anymore! Is it time, time....TIME, you say?! Time that breaks; and time that takes... Ah yes!....that old man of men has done it again...he ‘waits’ waits....WAITS....for no man, Sam so play it again...if you can?! ........"So long, sweetheart!"....... |

... When I was young and wondered at the idols of my parents who had passed on, I wondered what it would feel like, to know that this actor, or that actress around my age, epitomized in film, to be forever young. Sadly, I now know that those who sang and danced for me and mine, are older, some better, some wiser, some...gone... and as their teachers, heroes and idols of film before them, will always be remembered in very special ways. Thank you for the read of Culluloid Ghosts. |
