Avanti

Noticed little Lubitsch subtleties like the dog which knows there's been a murder. Also, the coffee scene - Lemmon drinks it, adds milk, adds sugar, seems to be appreciating it more, then heads to the bathroom and - off camera - we hear him flushing it down the toilet.

There's that feeling which is well caught in Elizabethtown of a character slowly thawing to a place - to a woman, the delicious Juliet Mills, whose best film this is. It's a pleasure to see these actors at work.

It ends where They All Laughed begins.

And here's some stuff about Izzy Diamond.
