The Man Who Knew Too Much wins, and yes, it's the 56 version (Edith Head didn't work on the British version).
Next,
Houseboat vs. The Great Race

I may not be Catholic, but I can abstain with the best of 'em.
I did watch about 2 minutes of My Favorite Blonde last night, that's about all I needed to see.

Brook,
Just a question. If someone were to say "I did watch about 2 minutes each of Taxi Driver, Ikiru, The Passion of Joan of Arc & Sunset Blvd last night, that's all I needed to see of any of those films.", would you agree, or claim that they're not giving those films a chance, and can in no way have a valid opinion about them unless they watch all of them?
I'm not suggesting you finish watching My Favorite Blonde, cause I do doubt if you'd end up liking it, but I simply hope you have no problem with others having negative opinions about films you like based on 2 minutes worth of watching them.
