Couldn't bring myself to watch that film for decades---I was so mad that Julie Andrews wasn't chosen for the film because the producers didn't think she was famous enough. Hmmph. Then again, she ended up winning an Oscar that same year for Mary Poppins.<br /><br />Hope the back mends soon. Might want to be careful lifting your "light" heavyweight turkey. :)Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11587652444835060129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5648310406783744033.post-68273842091930710842021-12-29T12:20:00.785+00:002021-12-29T12:20:00.785+00:00Well - I do wonder.
