Coffee Breakdown



Her fury is sizzling hot
It''ll burn Marvin's criminal blot
When she trots out the java
It's a shot of hot lava
As, in turn, Grahame gives him the pot.


Gloria Grahame and Lee Marvin feel The Big Heat (Fritz Lang, 1953). Next week, Lang's German roots and a few of his silent films.

  1. Who cares if it was mountain-grown
    or good to the last drop when thrown?
    The act was quite rude
    I mean, what was brewed
    T'was de-caf, the Joe known as Joan

  2. Joan...? Joan Bennett? That was yesterday's star, Norm. Am I missing something?

    T'was de-caf, no filter, no cone.

  4. You don't need a quorum or gang
    to make up one's own kind of slang
    Its life span is short
    and quick to abort,
    replaced by some new kind of "lang"
