i have never had any desire to see this movie - until last nite. what a great film! i cannot believe what i have missed all these years. Zasu was actually quite pretty. and Charles Laughton is great in anything. like another reviewer, my satellite also gave out due to the weather and i missed quite a bit. i hope TCM reruns it soon.
and a cute nose! i tell you, they don't make them that way anymore. you can keep all the fluff that passes for an actor today. these guys could sing, dance, play the heavy, the romantic, whatever. it always looked so effortless.
i haven't written before - but it is so nice to know that there are other people on this planet who appreciate the actors of yester-year. i was so upset that TCM changed the monday robt. montgomery line-up in favor of shelley winters that i ended up working late!
