Anyway, so that this doesn't turn into the excuses blog, let's look at the new place, shall we?
Merrily We Go to Hell 1932
OK, this is the old place. It was a little too ritzy for my taste, plus it looked terrible with the extension cords running all over. These old buildings never have enough three-prong outlets.
Le Grand Jeu 1934
Now, this is a staircase! See the living room:

Yes, the new place is furnished. Not bad, eh?
Merrily We Go to Hell 1932
The best feature is easily the rec room in the basement:
Quai des Orfèvres 1947

House warming party!
That is not me passed out on the sofa.
I'm taking the photos.
Quai des Orfèvres 1947
The only drawback so far is it's in a hard location to catch a cab. I can't imagine I'll be leaving home very much these days. I've got a lot of posting to do.
Thanks Guy for the films!

You're quite welcome. Nice digs, I must say. Good to have you back.
Congratulations on the new digs! And thanks for giving US a housewarming gift. This is a particularly gorgeous group. God, isn't Quai des Orfevres glorious?
Hi shahn,
Always wonderful when you have time to do more.
Love,

I had a feeling you might enjoy the Clouzot film. So many things to appreciate, The cinematography, the set design, and of course all the fine actors involved. Louis Jouvet has become one of my favorite performers from that era. He's also wonderful in Renoir's Les Bas-Fonds (The Lower Depths), his scenes with Gabin are charming, unforgettable, as is the film itself. Yes, Quai des Orfevres is a gem. Hope you were able to view the region 2's I sent.
A belated welcome back! I'm so behind on blogs; I'm sorry I didn't comment sooner.
The sets in "Merrily We Go to Hell" look a little like the big house in "The Keyhole", at least at that staircase.
Thanks everybody! It's nice to have you all over to my new pad. Next I need a grand piano for the cocktail parties I'll be throwing this holiday season.
