Nor did he worry about her inherent comic skill, which he figured he could teach read more

4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Mar 12, 2020
“Smile” is a timeless hit among a plethora of classic Nat King Cole tracks. The innate warmth and the soothing nature of his vocals shine through every note. It took me many years to realize the tune was actually a Charlie Chaplin composition from City Lights later reworked with lyrics. read more
