a little late this year


After seeing the new HBO film and revisiting the original documentary, I ordered this one from Netflix...and was blown away by the new footage with Edie's creative "revolutionary" costumes. When she sang a few bars of one of the most poignant songs ever written, "Spring Will Be a Little Late This Year," my eyes filled with tears. I'm wondering if she remained in love with that "married man" all her life. I think this song may be a nod to that long ago relationship. If you've never heard this WWII song, it's on You Tube. One particularly good version is by the popular singer of the early '50s, Joni James. Just haunting...just like Little Edie.
