I haven’t watched TSOM in years and that clip of Maria and Cap dancing is HOT! Now I need to rewatch!
My goodness, you’re good. The way you got me going through half a dozen emotions in a single post!!!
Bim, I just loved this so much.
Wonderful! I've been made fun of for loving this film but it's such a joy. As is your writing. Thank you!
Love all of this, especially the empathy for the Baroness.
