Couldn't help but watch Heaven Knows, Mr. Allison in its entirety last night (I had planned on sleeping earlier). Fell in love with it from beginning to end. God bless Robert Mitchum. His corporal Allison is so likable, its probably my favorite of all of his roles.

Deborah Kerr's Sister Angela immediately grew on me. She was incredible in that movie. I have felt this way even before I found out she was actually nominated for an academy award for that one. So gorgeous, so different from her roles in An Affair To Remember and The King and I, both of which are more famous than her role in Heaven Knows, Mr. Allison.

The movie reminded me how equal parts exciting and painful it feels to realize you're falling in love with someone --- a feeling that all too quickly passes us by and most of us forget to appreciate to even have experienced in the first place.
