Viewing Notes

On the top of most people’s lists. There are moments in this film that just make me smile like a fool. One shot in particular is a small one where Sammy drives off from Bailey Park while George and Mary stand with their arms around each other watching him go. The camera is behind them and something about this shot just makes me happy. Really shows the two as they are.
