TCM is really a comfort on these long days at home. We've seen some wonderful movies over the weeks.

I'm watching "Wait Until Dark" right now. I saw it years ago and liked it ok but I"m loving it today.

The fear, the claustrophobia of the tiny apartment, the insidiousness of the trio of bad guys and Audrey Hepburn's special fragility amid all this horror - wow.

I may watch it all over again!

Thanks again!
