And silly me, relieved that the purple people eater of 50s top-40 fame did not burst upon the scene to devour the giggling, toe-wiggling couple in a single gulp, bedspread and all.

Yes, a lot more they neglect in their mad pursuit! Thanks for reading, Brendan.

Appreciate it, Andrew. That song did not escape me, and then it did, thankfully! With you, there.
Bravo! Definitely nominate this one for Best Cinematography. Also for Screenplay and Score!

Glad to hear it, Rosemary!
What a vision. If I’d dreamt this I’d be smiling days and days later..
This is gorgeous.
Thanks so much, Patris! And if they were for real?
