I got two favs this week, Say you say me from White Nights and Berlin Take my Breath away from Top Gun.
Laughed my way through the Arthur video clips, and ooo-ed and ah-ed over Baryshnikov in the White Nights clips. Both are definitely my faves this week. Glad you count this Charles Aznavour-loving buddy a friend for life!
Watching Baryshnikov dance in White Nights is mesmerizing. The film wasn’t great, but it’s one I’ll pause on when I come across it channel surfing, just to see Misha’s brilliance.
And of course Arthur is one of my favorites. I’m laughing during the opening credits before the film even gets started.
