And I...Yes, that cross was our last letter as well. And I, too, noticed SHOT and SOHOT being so close! I don't know about the DRT film. I've never heard of it either, but yes, I am quite familiar with ONLOW. HA!

I, a self-proclaimed astronomy buff, got TYCHO right away, but the theme eluded me for quite a while. Getting that sooner would have helped immeasurably with my time, but I'll take it. I like the way that SHOT and SOHOT were right on top of one another (43A and 47A). I also starred 3D Simmering (ONLOW) as a clue/answer that was particularly good, and as one that Horace may be familiar with. Also, I'd never heard of 56D "The 5,000 Fingers of ___" (1953 Suess film) (DRT). Is that THE Suess (Dr.)? Anyway, a good, challenging puzzle for a Thursday. The only cross that worried me was AYESHA/OKE, but I surmised correctly on OKE, so it worked out Fine and Dandy.Huygenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14539030936919012404noreply@blogger.com
