There's still a lot more that could be said about Val Lewton and his oeuvre but for now I need to wrap up my coverage of the Palm Springs International Film Festival and move on to Noir City and the San Francisco Indiefest. I've been so heartened by this project that I'm going to go ahead and announce the Kiyoshi Kurosawa Blogathon in honor of his 52nd birthday on July 19, 2008!! Mark your calendars! Thanks again everyone!
