The Meaning of Life

(1983)

When I saw the delightful portrayal of Azraël, the angel of death, in this afternoon's film, I knew there were only two possibilities for tonight's entertainment, and I'd seen The Seventh Seal much more recently. This is another film that I first saw in West Virginia, and it too has a story connected with my covering a state high school championship (track and field, in this case, in Charleston), but it's not nearly as interesting as the Raiders story, and anyway, it's Sunday night and I have to get a good night's sleep before another work week.
