Few films have added to the culture as this film has.Corn rows on white women,referring to women's appearance as a number and ending the myth that Julie Andrews was Mary Poppin's in all her acting rolls.Released in 1979 and running 122 minutes the only small issue I have with it is , as good a story as it is,only 1% of you are living such a life and therefore it truly is a fantasy plot,thus 1/2 star off.That said it's witty,pretty and gay,er thats the Julie Andrews in me,I know its west side story but it should have been this.And No Julie never sang that.It's a mid age crises movie that features a Mancini original music score and mainstreamed the classical Bolero by Ravel as music to make love by.You may not like the movie but the effect on our culture is none the less extraordinary. The cast is "a"list and act like it and it is in my top 5 comedies of all time.Below is a summary from IMDB and the trailer URL is below the pix.Must see and enjoy.
On the night of his 42nd birthday, George Webber, a popular songwriter, begins showing symptoms of "middle-age crisis." Over the succeeding weeks, he finds himself continually staring at young girls on the street, and he begins envying his high-living neighbor, whose life is one endless orgy. George's behavior causes great concern to his lover, singing star Samantha Taylor, and to his partner Hugh, who has seemingly avoided George's dilemma by being gay. While driving home one afternoon, George spots Jenny, a stunning young beauty en route to her marriage ceremony. Regarding her as "the most beautiful girl I've ever seen" (on a scale from one to 10), George follows her to the church. He later learns her name, and discovers that she and her husband are honeymooning in Mexico. Driven by the impulse to see her again, George flies to Mexico and checks into the hotel where Jenny is staying... Written by alfiehitchie
