I just watched this film again last week, and for days, I was haunted by the fact that March won for best actor and Andrews didn't. <BR/><BR/>I mean, every single member of that main cast is terrific, but if you have to single one of 'em out...I agree they picked the wrong guy.<BR/><BR/>Nice blog. :)Ginger Ingenuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06904339551806493214noreply@blogger.com
