The list should be obvious: my health, the divine Miss S., a great place, the City of Chicago, but, of course, I'm thankful for our annual viewing of Holiday Inn. How many of the phrases of our daily life come from this movie???
"Don't Ask Why, Just Go and God Bless America"
"I'm Linda Mason"
"A dozen orchids. Loose. Looking like they don't care."
"The lady must have been willing."
And, I didn't realize until this year's viewing, that the pose for Afro-Dafny, the Goddess of Vacation, came, in part from this movie. Check out Bing's attempt to dance in "You're Easy to Dance With." Just take the hand position, turn it 90 degrees up, and you've got Afro-Dafny.
