February 3, 2010



Now on PBS, a masterpiece. The original
has been digitally remastered.



Picked it up. The following is worth the price
of admission:
"I never asked the old woman what the reason was, I'd see her coming down the stairs backwards, clutching the handrail. I'd pause and watch, I'd offer to help, but never asked, never inquired into the problem, an injury, a matter of balance, a condition of mind. Just stood on the landing abd watched her come down, step by step, a Latvian, this is all I knew , and New York City, this too, where people do not ask."
