Not 30 minutes ago I left a movie in which personal ads played
a small part: Sweet Emma, Dear Bobe. It's a Hungarian film
and was playing in St. Louis only because of the film festival
here. Not a fantastic film. And quite a downer. Not worth
going out of your way if your main interest is the personal ads...
How are you, Donna? How did Mildred Pierce go?
