Viewing Notes

Was happy to join Ron and Pat for another big screen viewing of this marvelous film. Having seen it this year in the theater I wouldn’t have gone again w/o those two but it was a good excuse to venture out for another watch. Can’t really say enough about how much this film benefits from a cinema viewing. Don’t think I ever want to watch this on a small screen again.
