pop cultured

Last night I watched one of my favorite movies, Barefoot in the Park. Released in 1967 and adapted from a Broadway play by Neil Simon, Barefoot in the Park stars two youngsters:  a very young Robert Redford and Jane Fonda , as newlyweds trying to make their way in a tiny 5^th floor Greenwich Village apartment.

The fact that Redford’s character, Paul Bratter, is a stuffy, conservative, young lawyer and his new wife Corie (Fonda) is a spontaneous wild child makes for a ton of laughs. Mildred Natwick plays Corie’s mother and Charles Boyer plays the eccentric neighbor upstairs.

This is a really cute movie, one of the rare movies that makes me laugh out loud. I also love its retro look at married life.
