ONe of my first movies SEEN INSIDE a theater


I looked up PENNIES FROM HEAVEN tonight, 2-20-07, becasue it was on TCM.

I remember seeing this when I was a little kid. It came out when I was 10 years old. I had just discovered that you could actually go INSIDE to see a movie. Up until then, we always went to the drive-in. (I know, that sounds crazy, but it was a small town, ROSEBUR, OREGON)....

Anyhow, I remember waiting for STEVE MARTIN to do something funny, but he never really did. I saw it again tonight on TCM and remembered how much I LOVED BERNADETTE PETERS when I was 10.

When I was 10, I had no real idea what was going on at any time during this movie. Why would people just start SINGING ?? What is going on ?? Same with CHARIOTS of FIRE, my ten year old brain went "what the heck kind of movie is this ?"

BUt, it was fun just to be inside the theater watching the movie.

SHe was only 33 when they made this movie, now she, and I, are a bit older.
Overall, it was neat to see one of the first INSIDE movies I ever went to go see again.
