If you were Henry Hill and a S. Jones like goddess started to fall for you, would you complain?

Only if they didn't toss in Susan Dey as a dessert. ;)

Come to think of it, Shirley Jones always seemed to end up acting with a red haired kid.

If you were Marian the Librarian and had a charmer like Professor Hill....

Sixteen years, as it turns out.

I didn't initially like him in the film because when I first saw it, we'd just done the musical in high school and I couldn't shake the boy who played Professor Hill in our production (and, obviously, he was about the same age as the girl who played Marian). But I thought Preston was such a hoot in Victor/Victoria that when this one came round on TCM, I decided to give it another chance. I do love the songs.

Watch Blake Edwards movie "SOB". Hysterical, but you will never look at Hollywood legends the same.
