    My favourite movie of all time.
    I can quote the entire thing, including the lyrics to Lydia, The Tattooed Lady.

    I spent my freshman year of college at Kate's alma mater, Bryn Mawr. They woke us on Grand May Day to watch Philadelphia Story with strawberries & cream and champagne. Stories of the Great Kate skinny-dipping in a campus fountain were in high circulation. I love these posts, PGT.

    Leigh, what a great tradition, they had to be mightily proud of that one- and doesn't the skinny dipping and carousing make her more so? pgt
