Wow.

I cannot believe I haven't seen this movie before.

It is spectacularly good. Amazing. I just watched it (the 1957, Henry Fonda, one - not the 1997 TV remake) with my wife, and .... wow.

At several points along the way I found myself thinking "Dang, it would be good playing in a theatre production of this one!"

I don't quite I have the acting skills to make the movie justice, but .... it just swept me away.

At times like this, I wish I had the patience to produce the eloquence of, say, silmaril or turnberryknkn, since I have a strong feeling that this particular post does not appropriately reflect my feelings after watching the movie - however, I also have a wife in the bed next to me waiting for me to get off the computer, so this will have to do.

Yeah, that's a really good movie. Some people in my college put on a play of it when I was an undergrad.

I love that movie. Scripts don't come much better, and the ensemble rules.

Is good play, too.
