Cameron gave Matt Damon the script, an hour's worth of music and the film Local Hero, saying it was that happy-sad feeling he was trying to invoke.
Otherwise, see the previous seventeen jottings.

Sully (2016 Clint Eastwood)
A staggering piece of work, brilliantly constructed. Writer Todd Komarnicki, also wrote the well rated The Professor and the Madman (2019).
Great sound design (Robert Alan Murray, mixers José Antonio Garcia, John Reitz, Tom Ozanich), editing (Blu Murray), special effects.

| Clint with Jane Gabbert, Molly Hagan and Anne Cusack (I think) |
Also very well acted in all the less important parts, a real ensemble.
The Full Monty (1997 Peter Cattaneo)
Written by Simon Beaufoy. Needing money, an unemployed steelworker Robert Carlyle and his best mate Mark Addy decide to get together a male striptease act. The only thing this, they forget one dance routine and strip is not enough to entertain a packed room of women, and they tear them to pieces. Morse investigates...
Um. Very entertaining. Hadn't seen it in decades. With Ton Wilkinson, Paul Barber, Hugo Speer, Lesley Sharp.
Economical (an hour and a half). DP John de Borman, editors Nick Moore and David Freeman. The producer is Uberto Pasolini, who went on to make those great films Still Life and Nowhere Special. Music by Anne Dudley.
