My all-time FAVORITE film. -

I'm going crazy. I'm standing here solidly on my own two hands and going crazy.

Oh, we're going to talk about me again, are we? Goody.

Not quite an all-time favorite for me, but very solidly in the second tier. I want to be C.K. Dexter Haven when I grow up.

I would sell my grandmother for a drink - and you know how I love my grandmother.

Cary Grant makes this film for me, although it is solidly cast throughout. Hepburn is a given since she created the role (and correct me if I'm wrong Philip Barry wrote it for her). Roland Young as Uncle Willie is a scream.

This is also one of the few cases where I actually like the musical remake as well. There are some good moments, and there is Cole Porter.

Cole Porter, Louis Armstrong and "Did You Evah" make the remake it enjoyable for me. Oh, and Bing, Frank and Grace are OK too.

I want Tracy's car.

Yeah, I thought it was a given. Bing can sing to me anytime that Frank isn't.

Speaking of which, I just got some really cool early Bing, post Rhythm Boys, Pre-Hope/Crosby/Lamour, it's fab!

I want just about anyone's car from pre-1960 Hollywood, but Norma Desmond's Isotta-Fraschini will do me just fine, although it will be a gas

What a great movie! Do I smell road trip? (depends on jury duty)...
