After "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers" (1954, Stanley Donen), this movie made fall in love even harder for musicals. I recommend the trilogy but really the first one is my favorite.

"There are a thousand ways to point a camera, but really only one." Ernst Lubitsch

Here are two pictures of this great German director while shooting The shop around the corner. So happy he left movies like this.

A great western, a great tribute to women is Westward the Women, directed by William A. Wellman in 1951 and starring Robert Taylor, Denise Darcel and John McIntire. A powerful and splendidly filmed story that really touches me every time I see it. Those of you that still haven't watched it, please consider this film as soul enrichment.
