More slang
Caught Holiday Inn on ReplayTV last night, and we're watching it now. The unedited version, even: the one with the "Abraham" blackface number. I've only seen the edited verson once. It's certainly more comfortable to watch than the unedited version, but it does take out a fairly important plot point.
But that's not what I was going to write about. Here's a bit of slang from Der Bingle (or from whomever wrote the script): beaned up. As in "Get a load of the idea I just beaned up!" I like it. Can't imagine how I can work it into normal conversation, though.
Costumes in this movie are by Edith Head, who seems to have been a little off her game. Production apparently started a few months before D-Day, so rationing doesn't explain the strange lack of fabric in the ladies' dance togs. Although I have always loved Linda's Valentine's Day costume.
Oh, and hey: Merry Christmas. :-)
