g is for 'girl on a motorcycle'


... starring marianne faithfull. i have to admit a bit of ignorance... it wasn't until i started 'making out with mr. youtube' on a regular basis that i realized marianne acted in several films. here is a very groovy poster for the 1968 french film 'the girl on the motorcycle,' directed by some non-french-sounding guy, jack cardiff. (?) thanks to youtube, i've seen some clips. i guess i'm not supposed to 'spoiler'-mention that she ends up like, gleefully crashing her motorcycle at the end, as she's rushes to 'meet her lover.' oooh la la! apparently there's a lot of 60's nudity and some psychedelic whatevers. i'd like to see the whole thing at some point. i love the poster, though. man, if i ever own a house of any size, there's probably only going to be a scant two feet total that aren't covered by some kind of picture. anyone who ever saw my old bedroom back home knows i am NOT even joking. (...do i lie, lucynell?)
