[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Keep meaning to mention a film (out on video) called ' a month by the lake' with Edward Fox and Vanessa Redgrave - a light and humorous love story set on Lake Como (Italy) in 1937. Vanessa plays a lady photographer with what looks like a Leica with separate viewfinder and a collapsible lens. and a TLR - interesting to speculate what the Leica should have been (IIIf ?) and needs somebody with keen eyesight to say what was used in film. One shot shows Vanessa closing the hotel room shutters ready to do some printing !! Presumably very tight fitting for no light fogging ;-)) At least it adds a bit of extra interest to the film - worth a look if you can find it.
