Dec 2021

on B/W TV, with commercials in 2 parts. A couple of months later a nearby town showed it on the big screen so I took a bus ride. A technician was working on the electric and the manager went to him and and told him to hurry up, the audience was waiting. I looked around the empty theater and realized that I was the audience. LOL I loved it and hope to love the new one. I notice that Rita Moreno and another actress are winning and getting nominated for a lot of awards. John Astin, Simon Oakland and Ned Glass appeared in the original.
