Good day!
I remarked to a friend the other day that for me, a sign of a good movie is if you can get my heart involved and make me cry. In the past, if I needed a good cry but couldn’t get anything out, I would rent a movie that I know could make me cry. (By the way, now that I’m writing again, and taking care of disturbing or hurtful memories, I don’t think I’ll need to rent “crying movies” – for that purpose, anyway.)
When I had cancer – now that would’ve been a good time to watch some old movies. But I just took a lot of naps after work and forgot to watch a movie. 🙂
And now I’ll get to the main point of why I’m posting today. If you’ve never seen the movie “Bringing up Baby” with Katharine Hepburn, click on these links – I’d advise you see it. This was the first movie I ever saw Ms. Hepburn in, and she made me a fan for life. This movie is a madcap comedy that made me laugh almost immediately, through the whole show. The chorus of the song she and Cary Grant sing often during the movie makes me smile when I think of it. “I can’t give you anything but love, baby”…
If you laugh and smile today, know that I will be doing that right along with you.
