porphyryThese are two consecutive lines in a little jazz ballad sung by Lauren Lacall in The big Sleep (not that she can sing, but who cares?):
And her tears flowed like wine,
That's right boys, she was one sad tomato.
Somehow I suspect this is evidence for the multiple authorship indicated in the film's credits working on a very minute level--I would like to think they were not written by the same man. Faulkner, incidentally, was listed first in the writing credits.
I missed the Louise Brooks biography last night...
