Mia Farrow, paranoid in a phone booth

Mia Farrow, paranoid in a phone booth

Sky had not seen this movie, and since the building is pretty much its own character in the film, I decided it counted for our NYC Movie Marathon. Things I’d forgotten about the movie: Tannis Root, that everything was yellow. Things I remembered: that weirdo devil face, the fact that Mia Farrow was married to Frank Sinatra at the time. New thing I learned: Farrow’s friend Tony Curtis is the voice on the line when she calls the blind actor, and she didn’t know it – result was a nice bit of discomfort in her voice.
