  • Hi Beth. I'm sure that you can do many readings of the scene in the greater context of the movie. I'd link it directly to the guitar chase following the Yardbirds. Or maybe it ties to the way the photographer relates to women and other objects of his desire. Well, the list could go on...

    I used this video on a presentation I had for a class on the Critique of Judgement. Kant says that art is something that has no purpose. I wanted to use the scene to discuss this proposition.

  • "That will teach you to fall in love with heavy things on Saturday morning." Hemmings is a damn bon vivant in this movie.

  • now that's what you call a film prop!

  • I watched this film last night and enjoyed it very much. However...that stupid propeller drove me mad!! I'm a Film Studies student, so I'm constantly looking out for meaning/symbolism. But with the propeller, I just couldn't work it out!! I thought maybe it had something to do with the dead body. You know, like, he was more concerned about the propeller rather than the body. Now I'm not so sure. Grr...I can't stop thinking about it!
