PS FOR TUESDAY

I recently bought a movie that I found entitiled THE LAST OF THE BLONDE BOMBSHELLS starring one of my favorite female actresses, Dame Judi Dench. Also in the cast is Olympia Dukakis and Leslie Caron. I had not watched it until this evening and it is a must see for my female peers and sentimental type men. The story is about a group of ladies who had a dance band during WWII in London and entertained while the bombs were dropping on the city. The death of Dame Dench's husband in the story causes her to take up playing the saxaphone again and ends with the girls of the band having a reunion. I love the music of that era and always have. I think that I must have been conceived and grown in utero to those tunes and I certainly remember them from my earliest childhood. I hope that some of you will put this on your list of movies to view.

    is this a tear jerker? You know how I hate sad movies. If I want to be sad, I just watch the news.

    Not a tear jerker--only sentimental. I'll loan it to you if you want to see it.
