Viewing Notes
Wanted a proper revisit before seeing the remake. Love that this is set in Chicago with callouts to Illinois towns. Really had me missing carnivals and how much they were a staple of my childhood. Molly (Coleen Gray) is simply the best and purest of souls. Super curious who is portraying her in the new film.
