Good piece Ted.
I still love escapist fantasy romance movies from any era. Notting Hill tops my "recent" era films of the genre. Kids today might call it old. I love old movies from the era you discussed. The Philadelphia Story is always on my list of favorites. I love anything with Carey Grant. I wonder if you'll get the references in this poem of mine from early 3 years ago. Very very few did though I already clued you in here to a few of them. https://medium.com/the-brain-is-a-noodle/rom-coms-of-a-bygone-era-429a7458cd6
