And when I read it would be shown in 35 millimeter at the Autry in Los Angeles, I knew I'd finally found the perfect moment to see it.

I've occasionally done this with other films I've long wanted to see, such as THE CONSTANT NYMPH (1943) I wanted it to be an undistracted viewing when I could fully savor the experience and its expected impact. As I learned more about the film, I felt sure I'd like it, and it became one of those movies I thought would be extra-special and wished to see at just the right place and time. I think at a younger age I was put off because I erroneously thought it was a sad movie, perhaps because all I knew of it were the film's famous final words. It's hard to believe, but somehow I made it to this point in my life without ever seeing SHANE.
