The Empty Canvas





I bought a VHS tape of an old Bette Davis movie, to add to my movie collection. 

Bette Davis made a movie in Italy called The Empty Canvas. It was released as an Italian language film, but there was an English language version. I bought the DVD, but it was the Italian language version,  with subtitles, of course, and it just wasn’t the same with Bette dubbed in Italian. The English language version was never released on DVD. So, I thought, that was that. 

However, I just recently found out that the English language version was release on VHS tape. So, I just bought an English language VHS version on eBay from American for $100. So, let’s hope that doesn’t turn out to be a disaster.

You know how things turn out, I'll get into the back of my wardrobe and dig out my old VHS player and I'll dust it off, find the wires to hook it up to the teev, well, Sam will, of course, you understand, and I will slide the tape in and excitedly push play and the fuckers will all prattle away in Italian.
