Have you read the Groucho Marx - TS Eliot letters? They are really good. Love Greenaway - - I think MUBI had a lot of them recently but no more alas

I haven’t! need to find asap! Mubi frustrates me in that they remove films alot despite still having them listed so it comes up in searches but replaced with things I don’t want to see from 2012

Exactly. They can’t entice people with lots of Greenaways then pull them away at the last minute, like they ate carrots and we are donkeys

The Draughtsman's Contract is such a bizarre film. Seen it several times and I'm never sure whether I actually like it, or whether its appeal is its music and painterliness. But you're right, it probably wouldn't be made now, and I'm glad it exists!

You've whetted my appetite for Muriel Spark's short stories. Adding to my Kindle.

I reached for Drowning by Numbers the other day on hearing of the death of Joan Plowright, sad to find it vanished from streaming.
