REFLECTIONS OF EL: IN SEARCH OF SELF

An excerpt from:​
​Chapter 25 - The Subway Ride -Lust

...As we were walking towards 46th Street, I could see that the Globe Theater was playing the sex-comedy Cry Uncle. I asked Regan if she was game to see this movie about a detective who gets into all kinds of trouble. She gave her silly chuckling laugh and said. “Why not?” We entered and found seats about in the middle of the auditorium. The movie was already in progress but that did not seem to matter.
