Last week's "Last week's Movie Quiz winners"

The good news about my illness last week is that it didn't kill me, but not from lack of trying. After two days of teeth-chattering chills combined with a fever (try that sometime!), I thought the worst was over and I was on the mend. Then, right before bedtime, a sudden nausea sent me lurching for the bathroom, but don't worry, I didn't puke-- instead, I fainted. Fortunately, there was nothing sharp and pointy nearby for me to land on, but unfortunately, there was a rough-textured basement wall, and I seem to have punched it with my head. Worse, I then apparently dragged the top of my head down its length as I hit the floor, and being a bald guy, it didn't leave me looking any prettier. But-- good news again-- I'm now planning on going out as Gorbachev this Halloween.

Speaking of Halloween, I meant to write last week about one of my all-time horror movies, the 1935 classic Mad Love with Peter Lorre, which was the film in question for the quiz two weeks ago. Alas, my time is tight this week, so I can do no more than congratulate the winners who recognized it: Wayne Palmer (who also reminded me of its British title, The Hands of Orlac), Hank Parmer, E. Yarber, Vince Tuss, and Dan Andreasen.

P.S. If you're not familiar with this weird, weird movie, this is an okay introduction, if perhaps a bit too larded with spoilers-- read with caution.
