I used to be Madge, now I'm Rosemary lol


I'm 54. Been watching this film for years. Never tire of it. I was a teenager when I first started watching it and I identified with Madge. Wanted to be pretty like her. Imagined Hal was dancing with me on the dock -- holding my hand close to his heart -- shimmying in that dress. lol. But now, I'm nearing my twilight years, and find myself identifying with Rosemary lol. I usually watch this movie over the Labor Day weekend -- it's become an end of summer ritual for me. Can't wait to watch it again -- the picnic montage -- the "corny" band people -- every scene with Rosalind Russell.

I know what you mean, bsanto. I still imagine dancing with Hal on that dock, and I'm a hirsute male old enough to miss his shimmy.
