Miscellaneous Movie Musings

[Prudence]

Tonight we watched The Great Race because my friend hadn't seen it before, and I considered that a serious flaw in need of immediate correction. I know it drags in spots, but I love it. I love every silly bit of it, from the pie fight to the twinkle in the Great Leslie's eyes to the silly lines ("Leslie escaped with a chicken?") to the emancipated women...

And then we decided to make it an impromptu Blake Edwards mini film festival and I finally saw Victor/Victoria. And more emancipated women! And more silly lines. It was most enjoyable. I'm too tired to describe it better now. It's a fun vocal role, that's for sure.
