Oh!! I had a dream about Ray Milland the other night! Weird...
Gosh I love this movie!!!!!!
Really? Not fair! I mean I am ILoveRayMill[ie]and after all! ;-D
It is such a great film! One of the few straight dramas I can watch over and over and over again!
I saw this when I was waaaaaaay young [11/12]. I remember being impressed but not really liking it. I should probably revisit it, shouldn't I?
That's the age I saw it too!
I think part of the reason I adored it immediately is that Ray Milland was already an absolute favorite actor!
But, I definitely think you should try it again. Mr. Milland give's a brilliant performance!
Thanks for the comment!
I love this movie. He was so great in it.
Absolutely! Onlny he could have played it!
