I'm so glad the movie lived up to my build-up! This is a beautiful review.

Thank you! It truly did. I would watch a lot more romantic comedies if they were all so intelligent about the people in them.

("Bing Crosby supersaturated with barbiturates" is a great line, albeit an unfair assessment.)

I am beginning to think of Agee as an important forerunner of snark criticism such as specialized in these days by Anthony Lane.
