Thanks, it wasn't so much the Signoret , Montand clue, more the film made in France made me think of Costa Gravas .Dargo, I was going to pass to you but you said you didnt want to do the next one.

Sorry, not the film I'm thinking about.

He doesnt get it but a young woman intervenes on his behalf , he's hired.

Yes, The Eddy Duchin Story, Tyrone Power and Kim Novak. Such a good film, beautifully photographed and the location shots of NYC and music were so great. Love this biopic. Your thread Skimpole

Excuse me here skimpole, but kind'a like Fred Gwynne asks in that one coutroom comedy about "youts", what exactly is a "sowing machine"? ;)

Would it be something I wouldn't know about because I was never a farmer?

(...although as a kid, I DO once remember one spring day planting some corn stalks in the backyard of our suburban Los Angeles home...that's when my mom told be I couldn't harvest until it grew "as high as an elephant's eye"!)

Correct. And it didn't take at least half a dozen clues.
I know! That was very impressive on Swithin's part, I must say.

But still I ask: What's a "sowing machine", skimpole???

Yeah yeah, I know. It was just a typo, wasn't it. ;)

(...okay Swithin...you're up, ol' boy!)
