We tried to watch "The Snows of Kilamejaro" last night, but it was too awful. Macho Hemingway and pretentious. Lots of shooting of wildlife. Then we tried "The Last Time I Saw Paris", with Van Johnson and Elizabeth Taylor and it was pretty good. Van Johnson was terrific. These films come out of a two DVD set of 15 films, none of which I'd ever seen except for Jose Ferrer's Cyrano D'Bejerac". So there's a "David Copperfield" with every great British actor of the time, and a few others that could be worth watching. Boy was Elizabeth Taylor gorgeous. She was 22 in this movie, and really did a believable job. Walter Pigeon was her father, Donna Reed her sister. And then there are the shots of Paris. Always pleasant.
So today I think I'm taking my granddaughter to the museum. There are hands-on exhibits she likes there and we haven't been in a long time. Its a beautiful day and warmer. We can wander the sculpture gardens.
