Rearranging the house now that my younger daughter has left home, I chanced upon a cork-board: pictures and postcards: a DC-7 in mid-flight, Mingus, Aalto, an old El Dorado Wash-And-Wear tag, an ad for Blue Note, a smiling Blossom Dearie, the business card of Gam-Gam, the Jewish eaterie in Venice - and Anthony Perkins.  In profile, smiling (thus looking a good deal less tortured than usual), perched on a stool wearing Ivy scruff - including ballooning socks.  Now, try and you might, you will not be able to capture that look.  But get the Marsh/Gaul books down off the shelf and prepare to fall in love all over again.

Perkins:  The Look.
