| especially interesting in how it confronts the double standard of premarital sex, though marriage is the cop-out go-to answer back then. The whole film is about sex, and there's even a masturbation joke in there, rather amazing for 1963! Jane Fonda is quite good and lovely, Cliff Robertson likewise, and Rod Taylor such a combination of charming, sexy, funny and believable (with a very good American accent) that he almost steals the show. Fonda's and Taylor's roles were originally done by Pat Stanley ("Goldilocks", "Fiorello!") and Robert Redford on Broadway, btw. It also has an interesting plot, with a great plot twist that complicates things, along with funny dialogue by Norman Krasna. I could see "Sunday in New York" being revived, actually -- certainly, as a historic piece about where we've been and how far we've come. :) (ducks) | |

| Early Jane always fascinates me, plus you have Cliff and Rod and all that fun stuff. Good flick to wake up to on Sunday, especially if you have breakfast materials in the house. |

| Agreed. The movie of "Sunday in New York" is brighter and bouncier than many of the sex comedies of its day, and the mistaken identity twist is inspired. Norman Krasna was something of a master. His "Who Was That Lady? (I Saw You With...on Broadway) is a very clever farce with Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh that still makes me laugh. | |
