- Don't you dare complain about Jimmy Stewart. He's one of the few male
- movie characters I worship. Him in Rope? Honey! Wonderful
- homoeroticism, not just between the two young men, but between the
- more forceful young man and Jimmy Stewart.
-
- Or in Rear Window? Not the greatest role, I admit, but he really
- created the character. He was also wonderful in It's a Wonderful Life.
- Again, sort of a cheesy role, but he made me tingle.
-
- One of the few things my mother and I could talk about over Christmas
- was Jimmy Stewart. She told me all about how she met him one winter
- when they were staying in the same lodge in Ontario. I think she was
- sixteen at the time.
