Lovely! My favorite "love dash" in one of my favorite movies. I just watched again the other day. Never gets old.
Ah yes, you remember the love dashes.
I watched it again last night and it's quite possibly a perfect movie.
i need to watch this. i just saw the lost weekend (writing a post about it now), which i adored. i rather like billy wilder.
Sigh.
Shirley MacLaine is such an endearing doll..!
Hey, before I forget (because I usually do..!):
Best wishes on your impending trip!
Look forward to hearing all about it!
Oh, and Happy New Year, ya mug!
This movie is so great. Such a sad and emotionally complex "comedy," although its maudlin qualities are redeemed by this joyous ending.
