Netflix, free with the property and I'm going to be making the best of it. Hungarian film, atmospheric, curious characters, very worthwhile. 4 Stars.

Alfred Hitchcock. Whom I'd had some prejudices (ill founded, it seems) against.
Meh the flaws - they're a matter of convention and taste. What impressed me was how the ending swerved - and outright ran over my expectations. "He wouldn't dare!". Yeah, he just did. So, worthwhile, and dated in the best of all possible ways.

A couple of finds - the first (on the right) - a quartz crystal, colored by (?) and filled in like a pseudomorph. Found it in a pawn shop in Grand Forks, part of a collection of rocks - the color and the rest of the collection make me suspect it was found locally by a collector. And, on the left, a large green quartz crystal - found in a thrift shop in Rossland for a $1.00 - again, the color, the condition, suggest to me it was picked up locally and probably by someone who didn't think to dig any deeper...
Anyways, both reminders of the treasures I should be keeping my eyes peeled for come spring...
