This is a delightful film, one of my favorites. There is a brief scene that is not to be missed, between Bette Davis (as Linda), Mary Wickes (as Rosemary) and Tom Tully (as Mr. Brinker), in which Linda and Rosemary are discussing "Mrs. Brinker's bust" as Mr. Brinker looks on. The audience knows what they're talking about, but poor Mr. Brinker does not, and his expressions and reaction are hysterically funny. The whole film is definitely worth seeing. Robert Montgomery drunk on cider is also not to be missed.

A friend in England turned me on to this show, oddly enough. I am most attracted to two things: its controlled chaos, and its rapid-fire dialogue. Watching this series and its characters develop has been most interesting.

This has always been the loveliest film, from start to finish. If I come across it on TV, even if it's in the last 10 minutes of it, I have to stay and watch. My favorite scene is The Mitchell Boychoir singing "O Sing To God". I've recently learned that there may soon be a soundtrack released from this film, and I hope there is. I've only recently come across the sheet music for "O Sing To God", and it was worth the years of searching. Everything about this movie is an absolute delight. No one was miscast, it was just perfect.
