At this very moment

I am at the crisis of the movie Roman Holiday

Can you believe I've never seen it before?

I just wanted to record that this is the very moment in history that I am breaking my heart over the best movie ever, which I have never seen before but know will have a wonderful ending.

Gregory Peck's resolve is shattering before my very eyes.

Thank you.

Try "It happened one night." Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert. Similar setup to Roman Holiday. When Clark Gable forgot to wear his undershirt (vest) during filming sales of said garment plummeted overnight.

Anyway, the black and white gives it an extra romantic feel. This is the movie that had me hurtling down the journalism track for a long while. Considering reentry after serious detour.

Gable forgot to wear his vest (undershirt) one day in filming and sales of said garment plummeted precipitously after screening of picture.

This is the movie that is truly responsible for my first foray into journalism. Considering reentry after major detour.

I never did see that one, either. Sounds like something to plan for.

My God, Simon, I died at the end of Roman Holiday. I never expected such sweet, solemn restraint. Having been raised on a disgusting diet of Meg Ryan claptrap, I didn't know a romantic comedy could be so graceful.

OK, so I need remedial help with this posting thing. I posted once and nothing showed. So I try again. And nothing. And then there were three!

Wot gives?

Thee seems to have it now, Simon. :)
