Glad you included Lola Albright in your FP Parthenon. I first saw Cold Wind in August (1961) several years ago and caught it again recently. It is vastly superior to most American films I've seen (especially for its time). LA gives a passionate performance. Why isn't this film more widely recognized? You can see iston YouTube.

Pauline Kael, film critic for The New Yorker, on Cold Wind in August: "When people who work in the movie industry get together they often talk about the small, offbeat pictures made outside the studio system, and this shrewdly conceived and well-acted piece of what might be called tawdry but frank eroticism almost always comes up." She describes Lola Albright's performance as  intense and arousing.

Associate the term 'Goofball' with a mixture of Stimulant & Depressant - one pricier version of which reportedly killed John Belushi for example. But 'goofball' possibly not a particularly precise designation...

When I was in Adelaide, Australia, in early 2020, the trees in the Botanic Garden were full of flying foxes, which should really be called "Lovecraftian bat-winged Dobermans with highly caustic urine." Well, that would be a mouthful I guess.
