clear and present in Havana

 


A series on Netflix:  A Man On The Inside.

Ted Danson stars.

A lot of his acting is body language.

He is strikingly graceful.


In the 1981 film Body Heat his character bursts out into a few casual dance steps - little "softshoe" - in spare moments.  Noticed his glib grace back then, too.


Each episode in Man-Inside series has a title.

1.  Tinker Tailor Older Spy

        (from a book title, Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy)

2.  The Man Who Knew Too Much About Bridges

        (from Hitchcock movie, The Man Who Knew Too Much)

3.  The Emily Always Rings Twice

        (from novel, The Postman Always Rings Twice - plus two movies based on it)

4.  The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Painting Class

        (from - I don't know what)

5.  Presents and Clear Danger

        (from movie, Clear And Present Danger)

6.  Our Man in Sacramento

        (from Our Man In Havana, a novel by Graham Greene - and there may have been a movie based on it)

7.  From Russian Hill with Love

        (from movie, From Russia With Love)

8.  The Spy Who Came in from the Cold

        (from a novel of that title written by John LeCarre [I think] and there was a movie based on that, too)
