For some reason, in the late morning, for roughly the last couple of hours, off and on I dreamed of an event like the huge Smith family get-togethers we used to have. Lots of familiar people - though, for some reason I can't recall actually seeing particular person - and tables laden with tasty food. (Individual dishes I can remember. :-)

Maybe I'm just anticipating Thursday. :-)

_Give My Regards to Broad Street_ is less a movie than a series of vignettes with a loose connecting plot, which provides a framework for several music videos. It's a pleasant bit of fluff which is entertaining but overall not significant.

I like the movie, mostly because of one sequence. _Ballroom Dancing_ was shot to the music actually being played in the sequence. Not to prerecorded music. What you hear during the set is the sounds which actually occurred during the filming.

People kept telling Paul McCartney that couldn't work. Not only would it be a pain to record the music during the filming, but there were also elaborate dance routines and stunts. I don't know how many takes were needed, but the result is marvelous.
