Nice choice, chester!

Hard not to vote for The Palm Beach Story, but I've got to go Sullivan's.

Sullivan's is a classic but I find myself leaning towards Miracle of Morgan's Creek.

I think I've only seen Hail the Conquering Hero, which was an entertaining, light comedy. I suppose I'll go with that.

-James Bond: A little. But I won't consider myself to be in trouble until I start weeping blood.

Love Sullivan's Travels, and it is sadly the only one I've seen.

But I wish the public could, in the midst of its pleasures, see how blatantly it is being spoon-fed, and ask for slightly better dreams.
