Saw #HistoryisMadeatNight, Frank Borzage’s Titanic mash-up. As ever, this guy is a real litmus test. Are we reasonable, if disappointed, rationalists? …

… Or, the artist having done his part, can we suspend our disbelief? (Cf. S.T. Coleridge’s 1st use of that term. Here, in ch. 14: http://bit.ly/1SzZ8dN.) …

… This is so important! We think too often, & dismissively, of hokeyness. But these things may actually be a matter faith!

#HistoryisMadeatNight. Jean Arthur, though here she’s all dolled up, is the live action Olive Oyl! Really charming, as always.
