I wish I had a kid to name Zasu. How could she not be a comedienne?

Todd Mason said...

Or a budding pianist...or was the Zasu in IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE the piano student?

Thanks for discussing these overlooked films!

Todd Mason said...

Thanks, Qi. You could write one up, too, if you wanted.

A Zu-pick. A Za-pick. A sentimental fam-flick. It has been a while.
