Now that I have written posts on both movies I wonder if I'll still have the same problem.

I remember five years ago reading a book by Peter Bogdanovich and his praise for this film intrigued me so much that I waited breathlessly for TCM to show it. Watching it, I was on the edge of my seat wondering who Jean Arthur would pick. I think that's what I find most interesting about this movie. Usually in cinematic love triangles, it's clear that one of the choices would be wrong, but here, they are so evenly matched.<br /><br />Nice post!Michaelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06595610476583704014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-331373971294623620.post-20620084234914734682016-12-01T15:17:02.223-08:002016-12-01T15:17:02.223-08:00I believe The Talk of the Town is destined to make...I believe The Talk of the Town is destined to make your "favourites" list.Caftan Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05936895555808823221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-331373971294623620.post-77152590313073709622016-12-01T10:45:31.211-08:002016-12-01T10:45:31.211-08:00I can't believe that I haven't seen this m...I can't believe that I haven't seen this movie, but after reading your great post, I will have to make it a top priority.

Ha!<br /><br />Grant's vaguely familiar character had a penchant for borscht, with an egg in it. I bet that tweaks your memory a bit.
