Millie and Dan are so cute together, their love is so pure and precious
Places that made me want to live in that movie: that little shop. I mean, I want to try the tutti-frutti delights, all the ice creams, and the sodas, it seems so cozy

It’s a sugary Technicolor delight but it’s crazy this is from Douglas Sirk of all people especially before the kind of decade he was about to embark on. Rock Hudson painfully underused.
