Ah, the Fifties

http://youtu.be/BtTb_r85maU

On Sunday, while cooking a tasty recipe from Emeril Lagasse for chicken and andouille sausage gumbo, I had the TV on. I got mesmerized by The Tender Trap, released in 1955, the haloed years of marriage. There’s a stunning monologue in the film by Celeste Holm about why she bothers with bad boys (which I’ll post later this week). This clip is from another scene, and though it feels archaic, there’s some truth here.
