Yaaaaaaaaaaaaay, a nice Christmas black and white romance. With smart dialogue and a baby and a cool department store setting.
Bachelor Mother
It’s available for rent on loads of services. And it has a gritty realism which should speak to the new mothers among us, including a deeply felt monologue about how “you put the baby on his back so he can sleep, and then he rolls over and starts to cry, so you get up and put him on his back again, and then he rolls over and starts to cry, so then you get up and put him on his back again, and then it’s 8am and you’re at work”.
At 8am Chicago time I will put up an “and PLAY” comment and then we will all go along from there!
