Footnotes

I wake at two o'clock in the morning. I cannot fall back to sleep. The 1956 version of "War and Peace" has started a half hour ago on Turner Classic Movies, the version with Henry Fonda as Pierre and Audrey Hepburn as Natasha. I start watching it. I become immersed. The movie will end at 5 in the morning.

The costumes, settings, battles, and a reasonable adaptation of the story for the screen make it worthwhile.

Another night without sleep. Another night of footnotes.
