Keep the red dress if you must, but she pays for that pride for years.

The review
People keep the red dress and lose the years. A New Orleans woman wears the wrong dress to a ball to spite a man, and she spends years paying for the pride. Bette Davis. She is not a model. I have done smaller versions of that win, which did not make me wiser.
Yellow fever comes. Adult enough. I would not show it to a child hunting a heroine in a gown. The pride is the plot. Watch the bill, not the dress, or skip it. A spectacular slight is not a spine, and this one at least knows she is not for copying.

Live Historic number 45. Yours can differ.
The glance
Industry and Piety and Temperance and Stewardship are the thin ones.
Does anyone here do a real job, and does that job matter?
This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.
Consider this
The Quiet Man
58 instead of 45
The Quiet Man is still a drama film, and it scores 58 instead of 45. What you gain is industry: A farm, a dowry, actual fields.
