Helen Walbridge (Verree Teasdale) is a famous actress who does not want her true age to be known. She, therefore, keeps her 19-year-old daughter (Jean Muir) secreted away in a boarding school.
Desirable was a "lightly made", "rather narrow" grey mare bred in Ireland by Mrs. W. Brannigan. She was sired by Lord Gayle, an American-bred stallion who won the Prix Perth in 1970. Lord Gayle's other winning progeny included Carroll House, Blue Wind, Gay Lemur (Jockey Club Stakes) and the leading hurdler Pollardstown. Her dam Balidaress was an outstanding broodmare whose other descendants have included Park Appeal, Russian Rhythm and Cape Cross.
Film is a 1965 film written by Samuel Beckett, his only screenplay. It was commissioned by Barney Rosset of Grove Press. Writing began on 5 April 1963 with a first draft completed within four days. A second draft was produced by 22 May and a forty-leaf shooting script followed thereafter. It was filmed in New York in July 1964.
Beckett’s original choice for the lead – referred to only as “O” – was Charlie Chaplin, but his script never reached him. Both Beckett and the director Alan Schneider were interested in Zero Mostel and Jack MacGowran. However, the former was unavailable and the latter, who accepted at first, became unavailable due to his role in a "Hollywood epic." Beckett then suggested Buster Keaton. Schneider promptly flew to Los Angeles and persuaded Keaton to accept the role along with "a handsome fee for less than three weeks' work."James Karen, who was to have a small part in the film, also encouraged Schneider to contact Keaton.
The filmed version differs from Beckett's original script but with his approval since he was on set all the time, this being his only visit to the United States. The script printed in Collected Shorter Plays of Samuel Beckett (Faber and Faber, 1984) states:
In fluid dynamics, lubrication theory describes the flow of fluids (liquids or gases) in a geometry in which one dimension is significantly smaller than the others. An example is the flow above air hockey tables, where the thickness of the air layer beneath the puck is much smaller than the dimensions of the puck itself.
Internal flows are those where the fluid is fully bounded. Internal flow lubrication theory has many industrial applications because of its role in the design of fluid bearings. Here a key goal of lubrication theory is to determine the pressure distribution in the fluid volume, and hence the forces on the bearing components. The working fluid in this case is often termed a lubricant.
Free film lubrication theory is concerned with the case in which one of the surfaces containing the fluid is a free surface. In that case the position of the free surface is itself unknown, and one goal of lubrication theory is then to determine this. Surface tension may then be significant, or even dominant. Issues of wetting and dewetting then arise. For very thin films (thickness less than one micrometre), additional intermolecular forces, such as Van der Waals forces or disjoining forces, may become significant.
In the film Babygirl, Romy, a high-powered CEO (played by Nicole Kidman), experiences a sexual awakening when she enters into a torrid affair with her much younger intern, Samuel (played by Harris Dickenson).

... intention is to reveal that women in their 50s are full of sexual desires as various and urgent as those of the young, the film comes up with a 1950s-style answer to why Romy wants what she wants.
She felt, “This is a character I know very well and I’ve wanted to play for so long, but I’m so afraid.” But when she had to choose between following her fear or her desire to take part in the film, she chose the latter.
In a Hollywood film, we’d be led to believe that these moments are laden with momentous importance – a flicker of sexual charge and desire, a chemical reaction that leads inexorably to life-altering romance and happily ever after.
Their easygoing camaraderie appealed to the producers and, in July, they got the call they so desired — an invitation to film the show in the same Burbank, California, studio where the original “Jeopardy!” is taped.
"I love that film, there is a script that I like a lot, but there are factors that have nothing to do with your hobby and desire to make it, but with how popular an intellectual property like this is," Muschietti went on to add.
While the subject matter of Babygirl may seem taboo to some, Nicole said she was thrilled to explore the dark side of desire through her role in the film, which was directed by Halina Reijn.
