I love the idea of somebody in 1944 (or now) hearing of a movie called CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY starring Deanna Durbin and Gene Kelly, thinking "That sounds like a heartwarming holiday romp," and being exposed to this: https://youtu.be/sBVWLwwkt3I

@semidetached I love the idea of this person being me tonight!
@nicole Be her! And be prepared for a wild ride!
@semidetached 😍 I don’t know what it was, but Deanna Durbin was mesmerizing in that role. And what a set up!! Who knew flights to SF could suffer such gothic interruptions!?!?
@nicole Glad you took the bait! I agree, Durbin is surprisingly compelling in "fallen woman" mode. And the whole scenario/structure . . . When we got to the first Liebestod moment, Ray said, "OK, now we're in Bunuel territory."
@semidetached I found myself clapping along with the audience at the end of that scene. 😂 Chibi looked at me like I had gone mad.
@nicole Going mad is the appropriate response!
