  1. Christine, your collage is sensational, especially as you have given us a list of all the couples. What a great reminder of the great days of romantic movies where things were merely hinted at and not acted out in closeup as we have on today's wide screens!!

  14. Golly, Christine, how did you do that??? Your art piece is certainly a gorgeous one, however, the template design to explain who was who is what really fascinates me. Movies back then did contain a lot of romance. Nowadays it's hard to find romance.

  17. Great work, I really like the fact that you included the names and dates of all the movies. A little history page to go with the art.
