btw I finally did watch that clip.  I was struck by how beautifully it was
filmed, of course.  I tend to like lighter fare, but am considering getting
a copy of the film for my wife Marie, who loves that kind of stuff.
Lately she's been watching "Niagara" repeatedly...I'm more a "Some Like
it Hot" or "There's No Business Like Show Business" kinda guy...

but anyway, when that nun goes wild - whooee!  That's a face that would
give you nightmares!  (though I was still kind of turned on by those shapely
ankles in those weird shoes when they're struggling)
