That Night In Rio 1941

 Glam 40s style was so 80s sometimes. or vice versa.

Some might say Carmen Miranda was corny, but I doubt she'd be boring at a party.

The Parent Trap 1961



When I was a kid I loved this movie and I loved Hayley Mills. Any time it came on TV I had to watch it. And you know what? Watching it again recently for the first time in years, I still loved it and I still got a little misty in the end. I guess it's like comfort food now. I might even have to count this as one of my favorites. Wasn't Maureen O' Hara beautiful?
