Liz from Sunnyvale posts: >A couple of weeks ago, I saw a terrific History Channel documentary on women >who served in the US armed forces during World War II, titled "Free a Man to >Fight." Close's Nellie Forbush (and indeed, the other nurses in the cast) >looked as if she would have aged into one of the terrific old ladies >interviewed for the program! >
She's had good practice in these roles before... ...next time you're stuck in Rainyvale (when the sun's not shinin' & there's a little time...) rent the movie: PARADISE ROAD. Plot outline (from the IMDb movie database): "Fact based recounting of a group of women who are imprisoned on the island of Sumatra by the Japanese during WWII & used music as a relief to their misery."
An uplifting movie about "the greatest generation". And they were. >
