Just saw Thief Of Bagdad (1940), I really like John Justin's face (but his moustache is one of the amusingly jarring things in the film), didn't think I'd ever seen him before but he was in some Ken Russell films in smaller roles.
I thought there must be some fanfiction about him and Sabu, but to my surprise there are 49 pieces on ArchiveOfOurOwn and from skimming the tags and synopses most of them seem to be about Conrad Veidt and the princess, in sympathy with him! I guess some people found his desperation and passion charming?

All the talk of The Silent Partner on the obituary thread has me thinking about Celine Lomez, also in Réjeanne Padovani.

Not strictly speaking relevant to this thread, but my main memory of Réjeanne Padovani (the film) was that it had the ugliest costumes in any film ever (mid-70's Quebec politicians in garish polyester suits), utterly authentic to the time and place though.
― Halfway there but for you, Sunday, 7 February 2021 17:40 (three years ago) link
I would play on TV in the mid/late-70s (CFTO, I think), and I'd watch it just so I could see Celine Lomez. None of it made the least bit of sense to me (not that my knowledge of Quebec politics is any greater today than it was at 16). I only realized years later--it screened once at Lightbox--that it was one of Denys Arcand's first films.

Last year, I hung out in the ruins of Stevenson's villa in Bournemouth, where he wrote Jekyll & Hyde gripped by fevers and convulsions and nightmares. Bournemouth is this weird mix of extreme wealth and tawdry seaside cheapness; the town centre simmers with barely suppressed violence. But there's another aspect to it - of steep sandstone gullies and huge holm oaks that must be largely the same as when Stevenson was there. I was amazed at how many people were in the villa's grounds. I mean, it was me and two other people but that seems a lot for a minor(?) literary figure and a ruined old house. We were all kind of fevered ourselves: reading, pacing the floors of the old kitchen where he welcomed Henry James on cold winter evenings.
I saw the Shelley tomb as well. Weird day.
