The Woman on the Beach (1947-- bizarre movie starring kinda the actress you’d expect-- Joan Bennett) riffs on _Magnificent Obsession_ that probably went and continue to go over most people’s heads. Worth watching, because someone thought it was what people wanted to see: what people? I haven’t figured that out maybe that’s the real mystery. ---

The Perfect Storm Unfortunately, the movie left out my favorite detail from the book: Coast Guard rescue divers are (or pretend to be) so blase about the risks of their profession that they call a dive into the most mountainous, terrifyingly dangerous seas “sporty.” _Sporty!_ Heheheh.
