Old school flick by the looks of it...It's probably something to do with Marti Gras, but I'm going with "Gone With the Wind."

I feel like you were just toying with me there, Ivan - pointing in one direction and then zooming in for the kill! :) Anyway that means you're right, it is indeed Gone With the Wind, good work!

I caught about half an hour of this on TV the other day and I've been consumed by a desire to watch the whole thing again. It's just SO LONG. But it sucks you right in and you don't even care that it's SO LONG once you start. Fiddle-dee-dee!

JA, you're a better film fan than me--I actually tried to watch GWtW once in a theater (the old Hollywood Twin on 8th Ave. about a zillion years ago), and wound up falling asleep. I'm a bad person...and I don't give a damn!

I'm actually taking a whole 15-week class on Gone with the Wind. Ah, going to school for film.

Seeing as how my mother was obsessed with GWTW and so named me Tara Ashley, I have watched GWTW SO many times...even when they re-released it in theaters in the 1990s.

Honestly, this film is really long and sometimes that makes me hesitant to watch it but whenever I do, it always feels more like an hour. I find it moves very fast.

A friend and his mother used to talk about GWTW in the manner of Taldud scholars. Each had read the book 6 or more times, and he had seen the movie 14 times by age 45. I was dragged along to see my second screening--which was a "restored" version that was released in the 90s--which showed set details and other things missing from sight for years. I never want to see the thing again but have no regrets about that second viewing. I still have doubts about my friend's sanity regarding this: he came home from a conference in Atlanta with a bag of red Georgia dirt, to be enshrined in a Waterford something or other with a lid.

That's obviously not "Taldud"--he agreed with me that basketball became less appealing when players stopped wearing shorts and adopted culottes.
I meant TALMUD...
