With so much discussion of spy fiction, movies and TV on X it’s odd that the 1983 British TV series REILLY ACE OF SPIES seldom gets a mention. Written by Troy Kennedy Martin. Based on the career of one of the most extraordinary of all real-life spies. Great performance by Sam Neill.

hearing for the first time that novelist Patrick O'Brian (of _Master & Commander_ fame) invented much of his own biography, didn't know how to sail & had no practical experience doing it, wasn't Anglo-Irish gentry but rather English working class, barely educated, concealed his early marriage... Everything he learned about sailing & the 19th c was from obsessive research & reading books. O'Brian comes out to be a far more puzzling, eccentric, twisted, anachronistic figure who lived in isolation on a small hobby farm in France, deeply secretive, insecure, brooding, exiled, aloof, yet TOTALLY COMMITTED TO THE BIT. I like him even more now (am currently reading Master & Commander)

Debra Paget performs "When It's Springtime in New York" from Stars and Stripes Forever (1952). This fictionalised biography of composer and bandleader John Philip Sousa (played by Clifton Webb) gives Paget an invented showgirl character and Robert Wagner her equally fictional love interest. 20th Century Fox clearly thought audiences would enjoy seeing Miss Paget sing and dance (which is true), even if those hoping for more of the real Sousa might find his story somewhat sidelined. After all, this is Hollywood! #StarsAndStripesForever #DebraPaget #JohnPhilipSousa #HollywoodMusical
