A Toast to the Suave Man (2257 words) |
 | Theodora Lynn, pushing forty, is a mousey virgin so rigid you could shave with the crease on her skirt. |
| You know that she is about to blow because Theodora, played by Irene Dunn in her first comedic role, is the main character of the 1936 screwball comedy, Theodora Goes Wild. |
| When I experienced an erotic charge watching Michael’s seduction of Theodora, this felt surpassingly strange, as if I’d picked up a shard of hieroglyphic text and, immediately and without prior training, had been able to penetrate—and be penetrated by—the mysteries of a long-dead civilization, one I’d never visited, inscribed therein. |
