Remember Fishy, it was because of you I even watched this film! When we met for the first time at the Gay Day Meet almost a year ago? You suggested this film.

That woman was so deliciously twisted, gotta love it!

Did you know that "Move Over Darling" was the 'reshot and finishe product' of what was going to be a movie with Dean Martin and Marilyn Monroe- but she died before shooting ended. Doris Day and James Garner were recast in this movie with the same names that Martin and Moore had.

I'm adding "Move Over Darling" to my list too - I've seen it twice and it's a good remake.
