In my rush to post about that Apollo documentary the other night, I got the movie’s title wrong: It’s In the Shadow of the Moon.
And I allowed my animus toward Ron Howard (except as he appeared in the gloriously horrible Village of the Giants) to lead me into another error. Howard did not direct the film; David Sington did. Howard did produce it, however, and I can’t help but feel I detected the telltale sticky fingerprints of his saccharine sensibility in a few places.
Mea culpa. (Which reminds me–I’m starting up my Latin studies again this month. What larks!)
