*"You don't appreciate her. I know she seems a little hard and sophisticated, but underneath she's a pearl"
"And a pearl so I'm told, is the result of a chronic irritation on an oyster"*

John, the most unnecessary character ever, what an annoying idiot
Ignoring him, I've been completely captivated by the musical numbers in this movie. Irene Dunne singing and Ginger Rogers dancing, what more do I need

Entre M. Vodka et ses BAH BAH BAH. Laura palmer qui revient entre les morts pour nous faire chier. Roberta qui s'endort après un fédodobébé. La romance à chier entre l'avant centre et la femme qui lit femme de ménage. Aznavour et Ginger viennent sauver le film.
