Treat yourself to “The Great Bridge” when you get a chance. There is no story more American.
"I am not a bridge buff. I am no expert on the building of the canal. These stories are a metaphor," David McCullough told the @vineyardgazette. "It is about the United States and the people. History is about people and that is the most important."
After a month in the studio, “I’d packed my bags when @QuincyDJones called & said they had 1 more song for me. I wanted to go home but he insisted: ‘Man, it’s a good song. It won’t take long.’”

Happy 52nd b’day today to “Signed, Sealed, Delivered, I’m Yours.” (1970)Although only 20 years old, Stevie was an established star — and managed to get a reluctant Berry Gordy to let him self-produce. After that, Gordy said, “Stevie was ready to fly.”

Little wonder Schoonmaker called it not only her favorite Marty project — but her favorite film, ever.
Look at this moment from Raging Bull.
