Movies, Film and My Opinion

 I had to edit the title of the actual 1965 movie because back then, they had a sense of humor. So, I did watch this movie. And I smiled. And my husband smiled. And I enjoyed it. The main character is a bachelor, with a good job, a huge house, a nice car and a butler. Or man servant, who refers to himself just as "Mr. Ford's Man."

This movie is a tear-jerker and for those who love a good "who-done-it", this will be a nice roller-coaster ride!
