Been meaning to watch 'Rear Window' forever. I want to go in cold, so no preview for me.
***
And I will not watch that second clip! I won't! That song will be in my head for DAYS!!!
:::twitch:::
My trouble with this movie is that I came to it as an adult. I was at my sister's house years ago and just as I was tired and ready to go home, the nieces got the idea to watch it and BEGGED me to stay.
What threw me off is that here I was watching a happy, family, music-filled movie and all of a sudden we're talking about NAZIS and WAR! These two things just didn't seem to fit together, and so I was just left shaken and a bit lost.
I'd always meant to give it another try, but now that I know Julie Andrews' real-life story, I don't think I can handle it. The thought of her no longer being able to sing breaks my heart. And as a fellow singer, it terrifies me.
