We spent a fun couple of hours in Hannibal where every other business has been named after Mark Twain. After reading Life on the Mississippi I love him even more than before.
I’ve been watching plenty of movies on TCM but seldom without interruption and almost all not new to me. Yesterday I scored with Harry Beaumont’s Faithless (1932). Tallulah Bankhead is a wealthy heiress who falls for Robert Montgomery’s ad exec. He wants them to live on his earnings but she prefers the high life. By the end of the film the Depression has driven both to their knees. I enjoyed the performances but the film seemed too long for its story and then ended really abruptly.
We’re cruising the river today. Next stop Bettendorf, Iowa.
