Freddie (i.e. Mr. Astaire) is the star of the day on TCM today. ::loves::
I'm so deep into a classic movie kick right now that it's not even funny. It started with a Judy Garland/Van Johnson film and snowballed from there-- into the territory of Gene Kelly, Fred Astaire, Doris Day, Cary Grant... Mmmmm.
I got halfway through Bringing Up Baby last night before bed. How much do I love Cary Grant in that role? Too, too much. His comedies-- love 'em.
Might need to visit an Irene Dunne film soon as well; she's one of my favorites.
I also watched The Joy Luck Club yesterday for the very first time. I was extremely pleased and surprised by how good it was. I've owned the book for a couple of years, and now I plan on reading it. Started it last night after work, in fact.
Hurrah for good books and great movies! So much better than going to work and writing papers... ;)
