Methinks a couple of these are not American. Okay, ANY classic black and white movie. Black and white is soooo beautiful. | |

gotta see that one!
I like the fact that all the seediness is implied rather than explicit. I saw a clip at the Museum Of Sex of Sabrina (the blonde pictured in the corset) performing the song "I Would If I Could" from the film. I knew right then and there that I had to have that movie. | |
