Very clunky off-key piano ditty of 30 sec or so, of the scary old film variety.

Samuel Johnson on marriage
"a second marriage represents the triumph of hope over experience."
We think it's a sort of cynical wisecrack - you couldn't get along with A but you're sure you'll get along great with B. We think it's about divorce. In Johnson' time there was hardly any diverce. But there was a lot of early death. The way you parted from your spouse was, she died. Johnson's did. So that was the experience, love somebody and she dies. The hope was the new one wouldn't die.
[from John Crowley, "Dæmonomania"]

Les Amours Imaginaires
Slow love-triangle drama. At some point, three quarter into the film, it was becoming quite slow, even for such a film. Though the end looped everything nicely.
