... my Mum had sent me, and in one, she included a newspaper clipping with a blurb review of the DVD set ("Sweetheart Pack") and its first film, "Three smart girls."  My Mum worte how much she and her two sisters loved the movie when it came out in 1936.  Each of the ones I've watched so far seem to grapple with the same story-telling problem: how do you bend the sotry so that from time to time Deanna Durbin's characters are obliged to sing?

Donald O'Connor has a great supporting role (with a fun, gratuitous song) in "Something in the wind."

So who saw what these past 8 days? Trance (B++), The Place Beyond the Pines (B+), Borgen Season 2 (A-), The Light in the Piazza (2003, A) islander s.i. #tardy Apr 23, 07:36

probably need to switch your handle back; you're making me seem all artsy-fartsy :) islander Apr 23, 09:06

Oops. And I meant (by tardy) that I ought to have asked yesterday. But "Trance" and TPBTP are both really worthwhile. second gary Apr 23, 09:31
