A guilty pleasure....

I thought the film had gotten unfavorable notices when it first came out, I always sit and watch this film on the too rare occasions that it's shown on t.v. I guess I considered it as a guilty pleasure since it didn't seem to be highly favored. I see here that it did get some nominations. I'm glad. I like films dealing with early twentieth century film and stage, even in fantasy like Maxie.
I have to say the scene that stayed with me was the scene where Ruth Gordon and Maxie dance and she, Trudy (Ruth Gordon), realizes who it is. Short but very moving scene, acting and music cue.
