my all-time favorite BP winner.

I just watched it again, as it was part of my WB 50 blu-ray collection (which I purchased for a steal).

You can have you GWTW, your Godfather, your LotR:TRotK...this is the one that does it for me. The story is trite; .but the score, the lighting, costumes, sets, cinematography, and even William Tuttle's make-up all do it for me. I never get tired of the longing gazes by Kelly and Caron, and hope every time that Nina Foch and Georges will spot each other at that party.

I watched the making of featurette. That just adds to the allure. And I haven't yet mentioned the finale. That alone is worth having a blu-ray player, and surely was what out it over the top come Oscar night.

I really love APlace in the Sun and A Streetcar Named Desire, but I truly feel Academy voters not only made the right choice, but set the bar pretty high for the top prize.
