I've seen TSC many times over the last thirty-odd years, and always find it moving. I certainly believe Minnelli's Pookie is her best performance on film. There's some gentle humor and sweet scenes -- like the one in which Jerry and Pookie first make love -- but the movie has what I guess I'd call an air of impending -- no, not quite tragedy, but sadness. Sweet sadness, if that makes sense.
My two cents, anyway:) --

I totally agree with your take. I saw this many years ago when it came out, and I still remember the very sad and poignant feeling it gave. The song Come Saturday Morning always brings back that feeling. Definitely a great performance by Liza Minnelli.
