7/7. [Free day] Soviet Period Dramas You’ve Probably Never Watched:

• Прощание с Петербургом | Farewell to St. Petersburg (1972) Inspired by Johann Strauss's visits to Russia (particularly his relationship with the composer Olga Smirnitskaya).

A photo of Charles Laughton (holding the camera) and some of his acting students, including Sally Cooper, Sarah Churchill, and Marylin Monroe, who would sometimes attend Laughton’s classes with her friend, Shelley Winters. The two would appear together several years later in O. Henry’s Full House (1952).

In honour of Olivia Colman's (belated) birthday, I want to remind you that The Favourite, the nasty fun of a film that brought her her first Oscar, is finally available on Netflix. Also, don't forget to buy the book that inspired the film!

Blenheim

The palace remains the home of the Dukes of Marlborough, the present incumbent of the title being Charles James Jamie Spencer Churchill, twelfth Duke of Marlborough. Charles James succeeded to the dukedom upon his father's death on 16 October 2014. As of October 2016 the Marlborough have to tender a copy of the French royal flag to the Monarch on the anniversary of the Battle of Blenheim as rent for the land that Blenheim Palace stands on.[59]

The palace, park and gardens are open to the public on payment of an entry fee of maximum £32 as of September 2022 Several tourist entertainment attractions separate from the palace are the Formal and Walled Gardens, Marlborough Maze and the Butterfly House. The palace is linked to the Walled Garden by a miniature railway the Blenheim Park Railway. The public have free access to about five miles or eight kilometres of public rights of way through the Great Park area of the grounds which are accessible from Old Woodstock and from the Oxfordshire Way and which are close to the Column of Victory.

Lord Edward Spencer Churchill, the brother of the current Duke wished to feature a contemporary art programme within the historic setting of the palace where he spent his childhood. He founded Blenheim Art Foundation BAF, a non profit organisation to present large scale contemporary art exhibitions. BAF launched on 1 October 2014 with the United Kingdom's largest ever exhibition by Ai Weiwei. The foundation was conceived to give a vast number of people access to innovative contemporary artists working in the context of this historic palace. In September 2019 on the occasion of the opening of Maurizio Cattelan's show Victory is not an option, the palace was the scene of a robbery: unknown thieves entered the palace at night time just after the opening of the show and stole a golden toilet valuably installed by the artist in one of the bathrooms.

Blenheim Palace is a frequent location for filming. A survey in 2021 noted seventy one appearances in film and television, more than for any other English country house. The site offers a tour of the various filming locations.

After Sarah is banished, she turns back to the one person who ever showed her true care, Adele Keene. Adele’s focus has always been on Sarah, her care hidden deep behind layers of fury and stubborn refusal to show how much she loves another woman, but her attitude softens the longer Sarah spends in her rooms, hurting and clearly longing for love.
