Sunday in New York (1963)

Plot: Depressed over a broken engagement, a virginal young lady visits her swinging brother in NYC and meets a handsome stranger.  
Stars:  Jane Fonda, Cliff Robertson, Rod Taylor, Robert Culp

Another 1960's sex comedy that hasn't worn well.  Jane Fonda improves on her Barefoot in the Park performance (she's charming here, not kooky) and she and Taylor make an attractive pair  - but the script/story are dated, and Robertson charmless. Smarmy Robert Culp is, as always, smarmy. Forgotten today, it needed better Rom-Com stars and been 10 minutes shorter.  However, 1963 Manhattan looks glamorous, everyone is good looking, and its pleasant enough.  Its certainly a cut above the smirky 60's Tony Curtis/Dean Martin stuff. A tolerable time-waster.
