By the way
There is a scene in Now, Voyager where Claude Rains sits on the floor of a living room in a stately mansion and eats roasted weenies.
I'm just casually bringing that up, because to me that is some high-grade timeless movie magic right there.
(Claude Rains is one my favourite actors of all time but I hardly ever bring him up because he was just such an effortless actor, and he had a way of playing supporting characters just right being this soft-spoken British classically trained actor amidst all these loud, beautiful Hollywood people. He never really had a niche kind of career neither like his contemporaries, he played everything, villains and heroes alike. He's well remembered for The Invisible Man and The Phantom of the Opera but those are a bit too camp for me and I really think it was the supporting roles he did best in. It can't have been easy trying to carve out a Hollywood career being so short but his screen presence made up for the lack of height. And jeez I really need to see Hearts Divided already.)
This burst of Rains adoration brought to you by no reason in particular.
