Film Pick...Children of Paradise

This film is about a handful of actors and assorted ne'er-do-wells who are part of the 1830's Paris theater scene. So many things make this film fabulous, but mainly it's the characters. There's Garance, the graceful, down-to-earth actress who adores her simple life, despite being penniless and homeless. And her lost love, Baptiste... 

Like me, you think you hate mimes until you see this film. Baptiste, the mime, played by Jean-Louis Barrault...

...he will steal your Y
