The Girl with the White Parasol

Saturday, April 9, 2011

I don't feel I have to be loyal to one side or the other.

I'm simply asking questions.

Sidney Lumet (1924-2011)

His obituary at the New York Times

Aubyn: "A fellow will remember a lot of things you wouldn't think he'd remember. You take me. One day, back in 1896, I was crossing over to Jersey on the ferry, and as we pulled out, there was another ferry pulling in, and on it there was a girl waiting to get off. A white dress she had on. She was carrying a white parasol. I only saw her for one second. She didn't see me at all, but I'll bet a month hasn't gone by since that I haven't thought of that girl."
