| I don't know if you've seen this -- which I never knew existed prior to about this year. It's Shirley Booth singing (with Andy Williams) songs from her two big musicals, "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn" (with some cleaned-up lyrics for tv at the time) and "By the Beautiful Sea". She's wonderful, of course, and I was thrilled to see her performing these, as I've always loved those OCRs and her performances on them in particular. Mr. Donat has me in tears every time I watch his Mr. Chips, and Dunn's optimism and love for Francie and the rest of his family in his film is equally moving. I finally read "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn" a few years ago and thought it was a great read, too, justifiably famous. |
