Mystery Movie #104

to keep with the poem tradition:
Quote:
My life closed twice before its close;
It yet remains to see
If Immortality unveil
A third event to me,

So juge, so hopeless to conceive,
As those that twice befell.
Parting is all we know of heaven,
And all we need of hell.

Emily Dickenson
Thinking of a film.....
and if you want to be kind you can go guess at my mystery book which Auntie Emma was nice enought to almost guess

Comedy? no, although there are a few parts that will make the audience laugh

Set in the United States? yes and no - parts of it are, parts of it are not

If so, in Amherst? no

Is it about Heaven? Hell? no, altough part of the story is hellish

Would Emily have enjoyed it? I couldn't possibly know that, but I think she would in the very least appreciate parts of it

Concerning the parts that are not set in the U.S.: are they set in Europe?

Does it feature an international cast?

Is it in color?

Not World War II.
That part of the story takes place in the 1930's and 1940's.
