It takes character to admit you haven’t seen a respected, well-known film. I’d rather not admit to anything that makes me look under-experienced or under-educated. I prefer to fake it until people see through me, and even then I prefer to fake it. All to say I’ve never quite seen Stanley Donen‘s Two For The Road. That’s a way of saying I might have seen it, but if I did I’ve forgotten it. Until this evening I’d also never seen Preston Sturges‘ The Palm Beach Story. I didn’t see the Criterion Bluray — I watched a high-def version on Amazon. I’m asking HE loyalists to stand up and admit that they haven’t seen this or that significant, world-class film. Go on, get it off your chest.
