A Real ADULT Film: Simone Signoret & Laurence Harvey in (Great Britain-1959) Classic Movie, "Room at the Top"
When I uploaded this film clip a few months back, I meant to chastise the film set (mainly the
Hollywood bunch, but not exclusive to that group). My gripe: so few films made with a
genuinely ADULT sensibility. Granted, these days there may well be fewer genuine
adults! Perhaps this accounts for the dearth of real ADULT movies, television shows,
plays, books, etc. And perhaps genuine adulthood has been declining for the past
several generations, devolving into the "childlike adult" syndrome (most pronounced
in the Baby Boomer generation, those of us born between 1946-64).
Whatever! Though femme fatale Simone Signoret or ruthlessly ambitious Laurence Harvey
may not be everyone's cup of tea, this is a story made for MATURE ADULTS!
Something not too much in evidence these days, be it Euro- or Tinseltown- made.

Hello Daniel!
I hope this reaches you because I'm rather "technically challenged" and having some difficulty sending you an email! Many thanks for contacting me - it's very exciting that someone in faroff Romania has an interest in my (on again, off again) blog, "Hot Java"!
I hope to get onto the "Contemporary Horizon" website and have a good look at the work that you, and others, are doing! I love all European culture and wish I had more time to pursue! BTW - one of my aunts emigrated to the USA from Romania; I don't where she was from but I'll try to find out.
These days, I sometimes feel like it's the "United Snakes of America" instead of the "United States", so I'm especially pleased that you're interested in my blog!
Best of luck and I hope we'll remain in touch! Many thanks again for your interest.
Regards,
Lisa
