Sorry, Rich, appologize for getting swamped.

It is definitely one of the movies worth watching and extremely enjoyable. Even if the plot is a bit naive by today's standards - but then, of course, it is just a good vehicle for letting good actors act. And act they do. I think the best way to describe the positive effect is by saying that I had delayed the inevitable trip to the bathroom as long as I possibly could - crossing my legs and helping with my hands. With many movies you just get up and go.

It is one of those films where you get involved to a degree. You get absorbed and you almost feel hurt to find out who the rascal was (although you might have suspected it for some time). Clifton is great, too bad his character turned out so disagreeable in the long run. And again, I got absorbed in the language and dialogue - it is pleasure to hear such masterful control of that nowdays largely neglected facility.

I will try renting the Sitting Pretty again - perhaps tomorrow. I remember my reaction to it about 30 years ago. It would be interesting to see how it looks today. Some things lose their freshess. My reaction to Some Like it Hot, for example, had changed from well, hot, to much cooler over twenty some years.

Do you remember who played the Lady in the Sitting? I think it was Maureen O'Hara. My wife was under the impression that it was Myrna Loy. I think I am gonna win that one.

Thanks again for a wonderful recommendation. Would appreciate more.
