if Phillip K Dick did steampunk
Feb. 3rd, 2011 10:20 amLast night, my wife and I watched 1950's "So Long at the Fair", a Jean Simmons film I had never even heard of.
Set in 1889, it shows a wealthy young woman and her brother on their way to the Paris Exposition. They check in at their hotel, after which they go to the Moulin Rouge, where they have a grand time before turning in to the separate rooms. Next morning, the young woman gets up, walks over to ber brother's room.
Except that there's no room. There's no door where one used to be. Everybody in the hotel says that she came alone, and that they never saw any brother of hers.
Interesting little film.
