Diary, Movies, Documentary, Drama
Helmut Schmidt turns 95
On the occasion on his 95th birthday (23. December 1918), German public television produced and televised a docudrama of the life of the former German chancellor Helmut Schmidt.

American Hustle
David Russel, the director and co-writer of American Hustle is my Santa for this year. He made me a wonderul X-mas present last night.
