Curling








50 years ago today, on March 17, 1965 one of my top favorite scenes from the movie, Help! was filmed:  The curling scene.    I love the whole scene----from the Beatles actually curling, to George getting the bomb and then yelling out that it is a "Fiendish Thingy" to Mal Evans popping up out of the ice and ask for "white cliffs of dover."   And then you hear the story in Anthology about how the Beatles took off running and ran and ran and smoked a reefer and it just adds to the scene.
