Yesterday, while being blissfully unsocial and skipping the Fourth of July party, I finally got around to watching Heaven Knows, Mr. Allison, which I Tivoed because meyerlemon flailed about it a while back.
Why did I wait so long? It pushes a lot of the buttons installed by my Catholic-school education. It has a gruff Marine who is attractive in a rough sort of way! A pretty young nun who hasn't taken her final vows yet! Marooned together on a tropical island during the war!
It's even better than it sounds, even though the movie couldn't take things as far as the book apparently did. (I have heard that things don't remain platonic in the book. Sigh!) I'll find out when the copy I requested via Paperbackswap.com shows up.
