The first 15-20 minutes of Gambit. What could happen next? You don't want to dance? Harry's plan is already crumbling and it's hilarious. N: "I can't help ...

Cole Porter’s last film score increases its pedigree, as well as the fantastic contributions of Mitzi Gaynor and Kay Kendall. But what amuses me the most about. Monday, March 9, 2015.
