Black and white movies with the smoke still hanging in the air.


Lipstick's Conclusion.

It
Began with worn
Silver, a pearl-handled
Gun, and
Ended in a dried, tarnished tube
Of lipstick, aged, pigment melted-
Red-smudged carpet, rough,
Smelling like old cosmetics
And despair
Against
One cold cheek

Yah! Some of the old
black and white gems
Roman Holiday for one
Come to mind

The mystery
mesmerises you...

Avery good take...
Good idea...

This makes me think of Casablanca. Have you ever seen Casablanca? Personally, it is the best movie that Humphrey Bogart ever did. I watch it lots.

Which movie inspired this? I would like to know, and then to watch it. Old movies are the coolest.
