Glad you enjoyed the films Brook. I feel bad that I still haven't seen any of yours, but circumstances are conspiring. My TIVO filled up, so I'm having to watch some of those to make room for new recordings. Hopefully this weekend I'll get to the last disc of Shoah, and can return that, and then will get back one of your films. So, it'll be at least a couple of weeks, but I'll get there.
I have to say that it certainly never occured to me to compare Random Harvest to a Sirk film. I haven't thought about it, but at the very least any melodrama in Random Harvest is wrapped in a sort of fantasy/comedy package, whereas the Sirk films are melodrama wrapped in a package that, aside from pretty cinematography, wouldn't be out of place in an afternoon soap opera show.
