There were only two theaters in our area playing Midnight in Paris.  My daughter Sarah and I rushed to the nearest one.

It was one of those old theaters that look just like the ones you might see Woody Allen frequent in one of his old movies.


Paris NightsWhen we got to the theater, we had to knock on the door, it was locked.

We were catching the last show and the movie had already begun.  They let us in and we grabbed some popcorn and a drink and rushed to our seats.

Oh, we were so glad that we went to the trouble of traveling so far to catch this movie.

It was one of the best movies I have seen in such a long time.

Sarah agreed.  At the end of this charming movie the audience broke out into applause.

I loved the story, the actors were perfectly cast in their roles and if I didn't already love Paris, this movie made me love it even more.

I believe that Woody Allen painted Paris enchanting, with his choice of music, actors, backdrops, costumes and wit.

If it is playing in a theater nearby, do go.

And if you have to travel a ways to see it, do go anyway!

"MIDNIGHT IN PARIS is Woody Allen's valentine to the City of Light"

When you see the scene with this music playing, you'll think of me and be glad I told you to go see MIDNIGHT IN PARIS.
