There Goes the Bride


After a bunch of "didn't do it for me" books/vids, There Goes the Bride, a 1932 comedy, hit the spot. (Mid-Manhattan and library at Lincoln Center are good spots to go for a broad selection of DVDs with the latter having a few videotapes too). Somewhat wary since a film from that era can be too slow moving, but the British actress (Jessie Matthews, new to me) carried the film. And, it was rather amusing and brisk moving.

Also, reading the Edie Windsor book and it starts off well. Nice prologue from the person who wrote it with her, including explaining his technique and noting it is obviously only part of the story, welcoming more accounts from different perspective (and citing the one by Robbie Kaplan, who argued the DOMA case). Nice photos including on the inside cover.
