fred astaire drinks to czarna & zelig's new born child ("le juif de lascaux" as a musical)



... it's a song written for him to perform in the movie The Sky's the Limit (1943).... Words by Johnny Mercer and music by Harold Arlen .................................................................................in a southern france concentration camp in gürs, fred astaire started singing this song, later made famous by frank sinatra's perfect versions ....




.... my father, a clandestine communist around lodz, in poland, who had met my mother in prison,  decided to go
to spain to fight alongside the republicans, in 1936 .... .......................................................... all this i learnt after their death, around 1975 (they were not the speaking kind) thanks to jacqueline kremski, my mother's only friend and confident ...
what is fiction, i wonder ...? ..... THIS is fiction, to me anyway, trying to imagine my very special birth in gürs, while fred astaire was singing this glorious drunkard song

LE JUIF DE LASCAUX might be this story's first and last screen adaptation
