that I have ever see. I saw it years ago, in the 60's, but we still use some of the one-liners...Like when he and his friend gaze up at his bosses apartment block and his friend says:"If there's a God, he lives in this apartment block...".Well...maybe you need to have seen it...
This is an utterly captivating and touching little movie that is remembered long after watching it. My opinion...!
I loved it in 1969 and I love it today. As soon as they bring
it out on DVD I am snapping it up. Loved the song April
Fools, written by Burt Bachrach too. Catherine
Deneuve was wonderful and so were Myrna Loy and
Charles Boyer as the older couple. Just
something about this film that touched me.

I just found the soundtrack the other day at a used record shop in really great shape.The fact that Catherine Deneuve was in it,and that it had songs by Taj Mahal and the Chamber Brothers made me pick it up.Great Soundtrack.Now I just have to see the film.
Harvey Korman describing an entry in his little black book -- "half-Basque Italian"..Myrna Loy wistfully "It's bad luck to be superstitious" many more...my favorite flick. I operated the projector in 1969 on a remote USAF radio site in Turkey.

There is nothing funny in this dreadful attempt at comedy.
shareI loved the movie way back when! The funniest part for me was when Ted and Catherine are arguing and she tells him to stop yelling. He says something like, "What's the matter? Doesn't your friend Brubaker ever yell?" and then it cuts to Brubaker yelling his head off.
I'm not going to watch it again, though, for fear it won't be the same and my happy memories of it will be tainted.
Lesson learned - when I was in college I read a book that I thought was fantastic. In later years, I tracked down a copy and reread it. It was a MAJOR disappointment. I honestly wish I hadn't reread it. I'd rather remember it the way it struck me back when I first read it.
