Watching, again. Was this the inspiration for the show Newhart? :)

Being that my mom was pregnant with me, while she worked for Motorola as basically a gopher for the drafters on the Apollo project, and I'd been to rock star parties in the lobby/lounge area of the AZ Biltmore featured in Ep. 1, I'm looking forward to Ep. 2. So much symbolism I'd never figure out, on my own.

Just finished the documentary. It was absolutely stunning & it made me look at a detail I’d never considered before re: the management
Jack refers to Grady as Jeeves. In the Wodehouse novels it’s the league of butlers, working quietly behind the scenes, that keep the world of the upper classes in order & clean away the messes they make. They’re the real power behind the throne, just like the civil servants in Yes Minister—always smarter & several steps ahead of the public figures they serve
(Also The Admirable Crichton, Mr. Stevens in The Remains of the Day, or—pushing the idea out a little further—Tom Reagan in Miller’s Crossing)
In the film it’s Grady that manufactures the accident to bring Jack ‘in’, while he’s left asking who actually bankrolls the house
Wonder what that says about power, how it operates & who really keeps it ticking over?
