I never saw any of the movies. I have a huge bound volume of his personal letters from 1915 - 67 which are really interesting. Recently, Ive been getting into "The Movable Feast"...

I have a love of all thngs Paris and especially the Lost Generation of the 20's. I love the descriptions of the old Paris city, I'd probably be dissapointed to visit today lol.
