In the Wikipedia entry about The 1936 movie The Petrified Forest, it sets the scene:

Howard, once a British intellectual and writer, now a penniless alcoholic drifter, wanders into a roadside diner in the Petrified Forest area in northern Arizona.

This is the movie that brought Humphrey Bogart to prominence; what a great shadow figure.

What WIkipedia doesn’t include is the information that in knapsack he had one book: Jung’s Modern Man in Search of a Soul, published only three years earlier.

What metaphorical movie! What a statement for the times — that still continues to be true in this soul missing culture….
