Tomorrow is the birthday for Saint Francesco de Sales, Patron Saint of writers.
There are not that many movies about writers. It's a hard thing to make cinematic.
I enjoyed Something's Gotta Give. Diane Keaton played a single, successful Broadway playwright who finally falls in love again. It was funny, sweet and her Hamptons house (especially that kitchen) was some of the best house porn I have seen on the big screen.
Here is the trailer.
One of the clips from the move. After Jack breaks her heart, Diane's writing block ends. I know it's sad but the beginning of this sequence had the audience howling. Have a great weekend.

I totally remember this scene. And it was a great movie.
And it's a nice portrait of some of the odd whims of the writing muse.
That was a fun movie! They were great together.
I loved that movie. I remember seeing it in law school, right after finals, and it SO cheered me up. And yes the house and the kitchen are pretty fantastic :)
