“Life is intrinsically, well, boring and dangerous at the same time. At any given moment the floor may open up. Of course, it almost never does; that’s what makes it so boring.” -Edward Gorey

Stormy Weather was released on 21 July 1943.

Very loosely based on the life Bill "Bojangles" Robinson (who stars as "Bill Williamson"), the film brought together a "cavalcade" of talent, including Ada Brown, Cab Calloway, Lena Horne, the Nicholas Brothers, Fats Waller, and Dooley Wilson. With a run time of less than 80 minutes, the film features 20 musical acts.

William Grant Still was hired as music supervisor, but resigned for what he considered the studio's stereotyping of performers and performances (Still claimed that the studio wanted the performances to be "cruder and rougher" than he wanted) and encouraged people to write 20th Century-Fox to complain about its false representation of black culture.

Stormy Weather received mostly praise from the mainstream press, and even though almost half of all theaters (mostly in the South) refused to show the film, it was a box office success. It was one of two films released in 1943 which featured an all-black cast (Cabin in the Sky - also starring Lena Horne - was released in April).

beautiful book cover c1905 with gilt spider and bird design

michaelmoonsbookshop

as has been noted by quite a few followers.. a spider catching a bird in a web does seem a slightly curious choice of design for a book on insects..

"Help!" was released in the US on 19 July 1965 (and 4 days later in the UK), just before the release of the movie of the same name.

Written by 25-year-old John Lennon (who felt that it was one of his more "honest" songs) - with Paul McCartney providing the "countermelody" arrangement later - the single would be the band's 4th consecutive (of 6) #1 single in the US, and would remain #1 for 3 weeks and would sell more than 2 million copies.
