Seriously. And I hear on TLC you are grabbing some old Hollywood from an online fellow. Can I get his email address? Please be around more--I need a Hollywood buddy. You should update your blog.

Romantic and realistic. Yes, blunt and simple, too: I don't know if that's the story or Whale, but it doesn't add any frills for anyone's benefit. It's a self-contained and pure kind of thing. I love it more as I keep thinking about it. Interesting you should see yourself in the young man. I can totally see that, from what I know about you. Well said! I couldn’t agree more.

I'm not sure why I love it so much. The guy reminds me a lot of myself, so sincere and naive and energetic. I think the whole film (play?) is sincere. It's anti-sentimental but still romantic (how about that ending?). Although their love is obviously doomed, it's not played that way, it's not some inexplicable tragic decline, it's not an overblown sense of fate; it just is. That's how I feel about it anyway, and I like it that way. Very simple, blunt. Waterloo Bridge is one of my favorite pre-codes. I’m not sure why I love it so much.
