ISLE OF THE DEAD's release date is murky: IMDb lists Sept. 1, 1945; Wikipedia has Sept. 7, 1945, but links to a faulty American Film Institute page. The real AFI page says the copyright date is 09/07/1945 but lists 'New York opening: week of 7 September 1945.' Anyway, it's 75!😷
If I have posted this before, I apologise. However, there just might be someone who has not seen it before!😉
The majestic Short Shetland, a replacement for the Short Sunderland that arrived just a little too late in 1945. An attempt to make an airliner also failed to win favour.

This is my latest Jackson Pollock acquisition. It's called "The Dream". It's 22" X 30". Made in 1945. Here you have Lee Krasner just sleeping. Pollock knows he has to make a plan. Because he realizes that de Kooning wants her, and he's keeping an eye on him. See L right corner...
