My Favorite Love Story
A friend, who told me this was her favorite movie, loaned it to me. Didn't know what to expect ... year 1957?? Boy, was I amazed. Just loved this old-fashioned love story. We never see any good movies like this anymore - too much put up there on the screen that should not be seen, doesn't leave ANYTHING to the imagination. Definately a 5 star !
