Maybe it's because I've left her alone for a while, and absence makes the heart grow fonder. Whatever the reason, I definitely enjoyed this movie much more than the first couple of times I watched it. Wow, I mean it invigorated me, I feel so refreshed after watching it!
I've come to the conclusion that I actually prefer watching old favorites over and over again more than I do watching something I've never seen before. I think it's because after a while, we are set in our ways as people. Everything we actually really love, we fall into that as children and teenagers. After that, everything pals in comparison to What we Loved before. I'm definitely finding that to be true, revisiting movies that I loved growing up.
I'm so blessed that I was raised on old movies, and they were even old back then. I was raised on TCM and AMC and Nick at Nite, and I think it's giving me a better outlook on the world. Those movies and shows were less cynical, more sincere, gentler, just plain old nicer. Take this film for instance - a movie about adultery. But it's made in such a way that you love everyone involved, and you can feel empathy for each character.
This movie is all at once sexy, sweet, sad, wholesome, and scandalous! It may be wrong, but I found myself rooting for the characters that Lucy and Bob were playing! They were so romantic, and I felt their Joy. But I also felt the reservations. This was made so well! Definitely one of the best from the sex comedy era that I think was unofficially kicked off by Doris Day and Rock Hudson in Pillow Talk. And that's a great one - and they're a great pair, but I prefer Lucy and Bob! :-)
Love this movie. One of my favorites.
