Started at the halfway point, and I'm finally going to watch it all the way through for the second time. I've watched it several times all the way up to the 40 minute point, and haven't been able to make it past that for whatever reason, whether it's bad timing or that I was too tired that night. But today, I just decided not to start it from the beginning and started where I keep leaving off. It's a very good movie. I like it much more this time than before. And I even liked it before.
It's much more modern and edgy than most romantic comedies of the early 60s, because they literally talk about sex in a frank way. The dialogue is pretty modern. But, it still has a wholesomeness and charm that only movies from the 1960s on back had.
Jane Fonda's great in this film, but reminding me that she's even more beautiful as an older woman. She's one of those people that aged like fine wine. I'm finding myself more and more fond of her.
The man who played her brother, not sure of his name, is very much my type when it comes to men. He reminds me of Robert Preston and James Garner rolled into one. A very handsome, likable guy.
Other thoughts: What was with the water looking so swampy during the rowboat scene? Usually, I'm used to the water looking beautiful and silver, or beautiful and blue. But this water even looks a little dirty. Very unusual, for a movie of that type to feature a scene that doesn't look pristinely beautiful.
Also, Jane Fonda kept reminding me of someone in this movie, and then it dawned on me - Miley Cyrus! :-) was an actress in the 1960s, she would be Jane fonda. They look like they are definitely related. The biggest difference is that Miley has a very horse, different kind of voice. Speaking of voice, I've just realized that Jane Fonda sounds like a cross between Elizabeth Montgomery and Sandy Dennis- while looking like a cross between Sandy Dennis and Miley cyrus.
Also, in this movie Jane Fonda plays a woman named Eileen. It may be because there's a movie called Eileen that I love, it may be because Eileen is the name of one of my favorite people from YouTube, or it may be something else, but for whatever reason, I think Eileen might be my favorite female name! So, of course that adds to my affection for this film.
I don't know if it's because I recently found out Joan Jett is a fan of Jane fonda, and Joan Jett is my girl. So maybe that's why I'm growing in my fondness for fonda, but I definitely like her a lot more than I used to! I think I'll watch Harry sundown next, as far as her movies go.
