Apparently the rest of the world is suffering through a devastatingly hot summer. Here, it's one of the coldest in the past 40 years. The blankets are back out of storage and I make sure to grab my winter coat for outings after sundown. The culprit is the fog - the perpetual gray overcast kind, not the billowy, romantic Hollywood version. No pretending to be Bogart in The Maltese Falcon; besides the strong winds would just blow the hat right off his head and slap his trench coat lapels onto his face.
Sure looks pretty in this film, though.
Night Train to Munich (1940)
directed by Carol Reed
cinematography by Otto Kanturek (who also worked on Fritz Lang's Woman in the Moon)

Yes, even I who rarely complains of being cold wore a jacket to work today. I love the fog and chill of a normal July in San Francisco. I'd like to see some sun for a few days.
Fabulous screen cap!
I like the screen cap too, gazing longingly into the distance. I didn't notice until later that they are all bundled up in warm coats.
The cold would be more bearable if there were more than three hours of sunshine a day. I can't even go warm up in Berkeley - they are just as cold! Therefore, my attendance at the PFA this summer is pitiful.
