watched an episodic 'old' movie yesterday...The Story Of Three Loves...In one of its three 'parts', a ten year old boy, played...incidentally....by Ricky Nelson, of the "Ozzie and Harriet Nelsons".....who is granted a wish by an old witch, played by Ethel Barrymore......and is, like Cinderella, turned into a 21 year-old Farley Granger, and falls in love with his French teacher/governess, Leslie Caron....the Governess that he had despised for her critical nature, when he was ten, just hours before.....I thought of this amusing take on many people's fantasy of 'being young again'.....well....there IS dementia....one way of accomplishing this, but in an increasingly decrepit old body.....Watching the beautiful/handsome Granger, I'm wanting to watch ROPE and SENSO again.....
