A wonderful movie, with a somewhat addled main character somewhat akin to "Being There" or perhaps "Forest Gump."
Years ago my mother used to say to me, she'd say, "In this world, Elwood, you must be" - she always called me Elwood - "In this world, Elwood, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant." Well, for years I was smart. I recommend pleasant. You may quote me. Elwood P. Dowd, from the movie Harvey starring Jimmy Stewart, 1950 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0042546/quotes

ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite films and that quote about being pleasant often comes to me.
