[GreenKeys] Interesting film on CW in New Zealand

[Richard Knoppow]

    This thing is wonderful!  I needed some cheering up.  It is a little 
remeniscent of very early Warner Brothers or Paramount musicals.
    I was able to open it full screen using Edge although its rather low 
rez. Doesn't matter, thank you so much for finding it.
