Yes my sweet puppy: it is wonderful- I always loved the French Resistance..as ALL my great-uncles, from Mom,s side, died in France IN THE Resistance- That,s one of the things I love most about Vivien, and in certain way I envy, her (in a good way)- I SHOULD LOVE TO BE THERE !!-

My goodness, it's very sad to hear that, but at the same time I'm proud of them because they fought for a good cause. And you know what? I just found out that my great-aunt (who just died recently :cry:

) received a medal/decoration from the French government for the work she did in the Resistance. She received le Croix de Guerre or Cross of War.

I didn't really think about GWTW having a soundtrack, or HTWWW, either!

But wasn't Vivien in A Streetcar Named Desire? If she was, that's neat that one of her movies is in each of those lists

(and Aggie was in one from each, too!

) I just love the music of Star Wars, and I want to see The Song of Bernadette really bad ~ Vincent Price and Jennifer Jones!

Wonderful, Uncle! Hehe, "Gone with the Wind" deserves the most popular soundtrack.

Yes! Aggie, it is AMAZING. I love the movie, and St. Bernadette so much! We own a copy, I hope you get to see it soon.

Dear AGGIE !!!!! :shock:

- "GWTW" have a magnificent soundtrack: more like an opera- Wonderful!!- And it was the FIRST to use a "leiv-motiv": a theme (in this case Tara,s theme) in many scenes but playing different, sad, happy, slow, epic..etc- And "HOw the West.."?????? :shock:

- You have to buy that soundtrack !!: I have it, in a LP I bought in the States: wonderful !!!!!!!-
"The Song of Bernadette, as Marie says, is LOVELY !!: but it,s..those kind of films that I can NEVER see again: :cry:

Yes, Vivien is in "Streetcar.." also (second Oscar for her- first for GWTW)

AGGIE: go NOW to buy that HOW THE WEST soundtrack!!: don,t put me nervous !!!! :mrgreen:
