oh, justine, why didn’t you tell me you’d costarred with Jimmy Cagney in some of his best work?? I must say, it was a thankless role, but you do look good in white satin. And after all, if you must be upstaged, be upstaged by the best!

But are you still wearing that shade of scarlet red lipstick? Cause I recall having to really scrub to wash it off. They have brands now that don’t rub off but what fun that is I don’t know…

I was in Budapest in the early 90s, suffering terrible insomnia one night. The only tv stations still on the air at 4am were ukranian soap operas, german financial news and a local hungarian station playing “red dust”, subtitled in magyar. But I missed the first 10 minutes (including the title) so they had to invent imdb for me so that I could work out what MGM film starring justine larbalestier (appearing under one of her numerous pseudonyms) I had actually seen.
