- Who's watched: M & G

- Commentary: Although we haven't watched this in awhile, we've watched it more than once. It is one I know will keep Mom occupied from beginning to end when she doesn't want to do anything else but wants to remain awake, I'm able to share in movie moments with her, since the movie has a far number of satisfying moments, and this is important. It is, for my mother, primarily a "woman's movie" in the old tradition: Women sharing the deep secrets of womanhood; comedy and triumph at the expense of the men, who are clueless; in the end, the men are proud of their women but remain clueless, the women are proud of themselves and remain a closed society to the men, and the children, if there are any, remain clueless but promising. A film of old and treasured sensitibilities.
