The voice, indeed.  If I went blind tomorrow, AR would still be my favorite
actor.

SEEN it?  I've practically memorized it.  When I found no commercial
soundtrack was available, I cobbled one together by buying a bunch of Bach
CD's (any excuse will do for Bach) that had the various pieces on them, and
taping the rest off the video.  (I mean, where else are you going to find AR
singing "The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore"?)

That movie is so full of wonderful lines and moments.  It still makes me
laugh, and cry, every time I see it.  (Although I am always obliged to yell
"TART!" and hurl a slipper at the TV during the "toothbrush" scene.  I like
Nina, and I like Mark, but some things have to be done.)
