It's one of the most brilliant endings ever filmed.Entropy and Vodkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02035284908197596520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7638298281070675587.post-2681454792678376452011-03-25T17:36:33.353-07:002011-03-25T17:36:33.353-07:00F.

I really want to watch this one again now!Tom Clifthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10969940401754806603noreply@blogger.com
