1. Dear Heart is one of my favorite films.

Very few people even know about it.

I wish they were showing Catch 22 for Alan Arkin Morning. He is such a great talent.

2. Dear Heart

It's funny I still haven't seen Dear Heart in full, especially since I used to hear the song on a station featuring nostalgia (big band, pop vocalists, etc.). The movie was nominated for multiple awards, and it's a staple on TCM.
