61. Midnight In Paris

Sat Jan 11, 2025, 05:51 PM

Saturday

I've watched at least 40 times. And not only that but it got me down a wonderdul rabbit hole of reading and learning about all the characters in the movie Hemingway, Gertrude Stein and Alice Toklas, the Fitzgeralds, TS Eliot, Cocteau, Man Ray, Bunuel, Gaugin, Toulouse Latrec, and more.
