I thought time for some relevant movies tonight. A Face in the Crowd and The Andromeda Strain.

It's been years since I've seen either one and I enjoyed the first one. Now to finish the double feature.

and it was very well done and relevant - also about similar coronovirus but with more serious health effects and much higher death rate. It’s $3.99 on Amazon video

Great movie. Saw it 10 years ago and watched it again last month on TCM.

The whole movie could - without changing a scene or a line of dialogue - be an produced today as an explanation of the phenomenon that created the Trump presidency.
