Also I wanted to post this picture, which encapsulates joy, love and hope under adverse circumstances.
As a bonus, let Gene Kelly lighten your heart.
About Me
I’ve been a classic movie fan for many years. My original mission was to see as many movies as I could get my hands on for every year from 1929 to 1970. I have completed that mission.I then carried on with my chronological journey and and stopped midway through 1978. You can find my reviews of 1934-1978 films and “Top 10” lists for the 1929-1936 and 1944-77 films I saw here. For the past several months I have circled back to view the pre-Code films that were never reviewed here.
I have an account on letterboxd.com and you can find some extra reviews, lists, etc. at http://www.letterboxd.com/marie_dressler/
I have an Instagram account at @flickersintime.
I’m a retired Foreign Service Officer living in Indio, California. When I’m not watching movies, I’m probably traveling, watching birds, knitting, or reading.

That is a perfect lock down movie. Maybe I should rewatch it too.
Anytime you are feeling low, this movie is a no-risk anti-depressant. Plus your son might be of an age to really enjoy it too. I hope his first day back to school goes well. Was he eager to go?
He might indeed. I am slowly training him to appreciate more… interesting movies. E.T. is scheduled for the weekend.
His school will only be ready to reopen tomorrow. They have to follow a very strict code on spacing and cleanliness and apparently his school needed a few days more. He is very excited though.
Now, what we all fear is that we will get a backlash when reopening. I watched this program from Ecuador about unchecked COVID spread and that was freaking me out.
Sounds like Denmark is being very cautious, a good thing. Here we have a bunch of flat-earthers congregating at close range in front of the Michigan State House to protest the Governor’s stay-at-home order. I would hope they all got Covid-19 if that wasn’t so dangerous for the rest of us. Trump is chomping at the bit to re-open. In response, I watched a horror movie yesterday. Not nearly as horrifying as reality. Sorry to be a downer. I hope your son comes home from school glowing with all the new activities available to him.
Gene is a role model for JOY!
The whole movie is MAGIC.
