LOUIS (sans musical numbers), and I played Rose's boyfriend, so I always liked the idea of dating her.

No one sings it as she does, bringing out a touch of melancholy to enhance the beautiful melody and heartfelt lyrics. As you pointed out, it's a great scene for little Margaret O'Brien (one of the most natural of all child performers). By the way, I never built snow people that looked that good!Rick29https://www.blogger.com/profile/08358116647815569722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-29562420636941839652009-12-21T12:45:29.189-05:002009-12-21T12:45:29.189-05:00Eve , Thank you for a wonderful post about a great...Eve , Thank you for a wonderful post about a great film .
