"I (wrote) to say no to death."- Cornell Woolrich

Rating: 10/10 (28 January 2004)

A very tall tale, indeed, told with admirable restraint.
Eight years ago, my wife and I started a writing group that meets one night a week (at a local coffee shop-cum-bookstore) to this very day. Like Woolrich and probably every wannabe wordsmith who puts pen to paper, I write to say no to death; to leave behind something more than a lump of worm-eaten landfill. Like the old man in this movie. [Or the author of the book upon which this movie is based, whose sister I met not long ago.] THAT'S what it's all about.
And you shoulda seen the one that got away...
