Forgotten Man

My friends and I had lunch at Magnolia's today, something we haven't done in ages. Felt great to spend an entire afternoon out with the girls. Claude and I remember when there was nothing but two antique stores, a thrift shop and Lucy in Disguise on South Congress. Or so it seemed. It was too hot to make every shop on the strip. Uncommon Objects was packed. I miss Rue's Antiques but love that Tesoros is easier to get to. We then went to the Paramount to catch The Golddiggers of 1933.

I have always wanted to watch a Busby Berkley film in a theatre on the big screen. I actually discovered The Golddiggers of 1933 through the movie Bonnie and Clyde when I was a kid. I watched Bonnie and Clyde for the first time on WGN when I was eight and loved it. The clip they used in the movie theater where they hid out I found most appealing. The scene later with Bonnie imitating the We're in the Money scene in her mirror was one I imitated in my mother's mirror after the movie.

We really fell for the 30's fashions. If I could I'd love to finger wave my hair that way but I lack the patience. Cec couldn't stop saying, "This is such a crazy film". It was all over the place but ended on a somber note. In fact, the audience just went completely quiet as Forgotten Man played. All except Cec who said, "This is crazy". The number was big and a bit eerie:

Saw some tears.
