That's a good question...

Same! It was one of the first classic films I ever watched (I think I was 12!)

Ohh, this movie NEVER gets old. Loved watching it with all of you, #TCMParty peeps! #Laura

LMAO!!!

📚Melissa Amateis 🦊 @ww2historygal.bsky.social · 8h

OH that would be fantastic!

Waldo is something else. He could clear her name right now by confessing, but oh no.... #TCMParty #Laura

"Don't tell me you're in love with him, too?"

LMAO!!! Right? The way she looks after they leave...she's just like, "WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?!?"

Shelby Carpenter is such a weak, sniveling coward of a man. #TCMParty #Laura

Okay, the cottage doesn't have nearly as many frilly lampshades and looks pretty cozy. I could spend some time there! #TCMParty #Laura
