> 3 dayI love this movie. It is humorous and shows a much simpler time. Also I definitely see where Ferris Beuller may have taken some techniques from this movie such as the main charachter talking to the audience.

Greater than one weekIve watched this many times. I have mostly noted its humor, but when I recently re-watched it I was much more aware of how much sadness is also captured in this film. For both reasons, it is very well done.

Greater than one weekI bought this as the videos take up to much space. Every time I watch it, I find something new that I did not notice before

> 3 dayNeil Simon is one of the greats and this explains why. He wasnt as prolific as Woody Allen but he hits it out of the ball park every single time. He was an innovator and ahead of his time with this piece--utilizing techniques of straight to camera and faux documentary that we take for granted now. Ive seen this a dozen times and it never loses its humor, poignancy and a certain sad nostalgia for a bygone era that is done without an ounce of sentimentality. The key scene between Blanche and her daughter Nora is dead on now and probably will be forever, because great writing transcends time. These are people experiencing the basic human things we all experience and that is what makes Simon one of the greats.
