I watched "Good Morning, Miss Dove" (1955) early this morning on TCM, and the film reminded me of how much I appreciate eloquence. It's like hearing a ringing bell.
Nurse Billie Jean: "And the compliments he paid my hair, my eyes and my figure.
I'm embarrassed to repeat them".
Miss Dove: "Reticence, Virginia, is the sine qua non of gentility".
