Mon 8/29


His Girl Friday is on my top ten and I love the circus of  reporters and politicos and con men it features.  They don’t make character actors like they used to.  The best one in the movie is Abner Biberman.  He plays Louie, publisher Cary G's shifty eyed eyes and ears on the street.  He says to Hildy/Roz R …  about his sidekick girlfriend ... "Evangaline?  She ain’t no albino.  She was born right here in this country. “
