Limelight reflections on late movies and classic cinema
Lorraine Orten muses on watching late shows from KGUL TV with Major Barbara as a backdrop. She recalls Rex Harrison and Wendy Barrie in the 1939 Shaw film, notes insomnia, a 3 a.m. finish, and the lingering pull of old film techniques and score trends. The piece surveys stars, directors, and the shift in background music over decades.
