Love You Till Tuesday (film)
''Love You till Tuesday'' is a promotional film designed to showcase the talents of a 22-year old David Bowie, made in 1969. The film was an attempt by Bowie's manager, Kenneth Pitt, to bring Bowie to a wider audience. Pitt had undertaken the film after a suggestion by Günther Schneider, producer of German TV show ''4-3-2-1 Musik Für Junge Leute'' for the ZDF network. The film ended up being shelved, and was not released until 1984, when it finally came out on VHS. A DVD version was released in UK in 2005. Production Pitt hired his friend Malcolm J Thomson to direct the half-hour film, which was originally planned to showcase seven of Bowie's songs, including four from his 1967 David Bowie (1967 album), debut album (three of them newly re-recorded for the film), plus the follow-up single "Let Me Sleep Beside You" and new compositions "When I'm Five" and "Ching-a-Ling". It would also include a mime artist, mime piece performed and narrated by Bowie, ''The Mask''. Before shooti ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

On The Game

The film was researched and written by Suzanne Mercer. Mercer spent two years researching it. Cast *LLoyd Lamble as Gladstone *Gloria Walker as Jenny *Olive McFarland as Mrs Dubery Production Mercer said, "Had I lived in 16th century Italy, or in the 1860's in France I probably would have been a courtesan ... I don’t think ''On the Game'' is anti-feminist ... In my view, no woman need be oppressed or repressed. I’m a chick, married for seven years, and I lead an independent life. I work in a very tough business.” Reception One critic said the film "covers much the same territory" as Mercer and Long's earlier ''Naughty!'' "though with rather less humour... the lighting is so poor as to enforce a squint throughout." Another called it "an informative and entertaining film."

Year Of Birth Uncertain
A year or annus is the orbital period of a planetary body, for example, the Earth, moving in Earth's orbit, its orbit around the Sun. Due to the Earth's axial tilt, the course of a year sees the passing of the seasons, marked by change in weather, the hours of daylight, and, consequently, vegetation and soil fertility. In temperate and subpolar climate, subpolar regions around the planet, four seasons are generally recognized: spring (season), spring, summer, autumn and winter. In tropics, tropical and subtropics, subtropical regions, several geographical sectors do not present defined seasons; but in the tropics#Seasons and climate, seasonal tropics, the annual wet season, wet and dry seasons are recognized and tracked. A calendar year is an approximation of the number of days of the Earth's orbital period, as counted in a given calendar. The Gregorian calendar, or modern calendar, presents its calendar year to be either a common year of 365 days or a leap year of 366 days, a ...
