Somewhere In An Elevator

Jane Seymour as Elise McKenna in the cult classic film, Somewhere in Time.

I was recently in a play. My costume was a whispering, dove gray evening gown. Some said that it was not unlike something Elisa McKenna wore in 1912 at the Grand Hotel.

Therefore, I had to pay tribute to Somewhere in Time even if the photo was taken on the last day of the show... in a dingy elevator... with poor lighting.

It had to be done.

Thanks to Abby, I was able to have this shot.

Thanks, Abby!

For the record, the soundtrack to Somewhere in Time would most definitely grace my Top Ten Soundtracks of All Time (I should make that LaPine Design official.) Not only was it composed by John Barry (R.I.P.), it contains the ever exquisite "Rhapsody On A Theme Of Paganini" by Rachmaninov. You feel as if you are being transported to another time as it trickles on. I challenge you to name a more romantic soundtrack, if you dare! 

And, the poster design is quite timeless, if I may so.

Before I go, I must show you the "Back" Button from this great Somewhere in Time fan site. I know! How clever is that?!?

Wanted

The Hanover Street Soundtrack. Go ahead, click on the link and see why I haven't nabbed it off of ebay yet.

John Barry, my favourite film composer, died this week. He composed exactly what I wanted to hear. The soundtracks to "Somewhere in Time", "Chaplin", and especially "Out of Africa" are frequently found in my car stereo. And I never go on a road trip without them. They are beyond description for me and are successfully evocative with every play.

And it should be noted that his score was the only reason I was able to sit through "Hanover Street". Okay, not gonna lie, Harrison Ford in a bomber jacket may or may not have been another reason.

Bottomline: He composed exquisite, romantic music and will be missed.

So that is why I want this soundtrack, but it's going to have to be one of those rummage sale/Goodwill magical kind of things. It's outrageously expensive being that it is so rare. So if anyone sees it for $.49 in some cardboard box...do me a favour and pick it up. I will definitely pay you back. ;)
