    My Comments:

    √ Watched it 03-18-2023 at our place in Niagara (PS, HS). Excellent interaction between the film’s 3 main characters (Cary Grant, Jean Arthur, and Ronald Colman). It’s an excellent commentary on the interplay on law, morality, and common sense in society. There’s romance brewing, but you can’t tell right away who’s going to get the girl. A wonderful classic.

    ENJOYMENT RATING: 4 stars

    GREENWING UPDATE

    October 4, 2023

    Caught her anchored offshore today at a distance of 5 miles! It was a beautiful summer-like day with a temp of 26 degrees C. My wife and I went to Charles Daly Park in St. Catharines and sat at the beach. People were swimming. This was the second last very warm day of the season. Here are two photos. The first one is with the Panasonic Lumix (1,200 mm). The second is with Canon (250 mm). Distance is 5 miles.
