“The Long Goodbye” (1973) stars Elliot Gould in the Raymond Chandler story of a private detective in over this head. He goes out for cat food and returns to a friend in trouble. He may be involved in a murder. With Sterling Hayden. Yes, Arnold Schwarzenegger briefly. Lion’s Gate. #neonoir #filmsky

Born in Berlin in 1909, Marianne embraced the freedom of the Weimar art scene and was active from 1928 to 1938 until, as a Jew, she was forced to flee the Nazis in Germany and occupied territories. Two striking images: Ruth von Morgen, Berlin 1934 (L) and Djemila, Jerusalem 1931.

A cameo is a brief appearance by a famous actor, but there should also be a word for non-famous actors who stop the show with a brief appearance.

Historical literary point:

Raymond Chandler wrote a vivid description of the Santa Ana winds in 1938.*

Ross MacDonald wrote a novel set amid a raging California brushfire in 1973.**

But by all means let's blame the black woman who has been mayor since 2022.
