The Women
Somebody I know says that you are only friends with someone when you have been drinking with him. I think you are only friends with someone when you know how much milk and sugar he puts in his coffee. In both cases, these friendships seem awfully male – what about the theory that women are just not really friends? Ahem.
In the same way, this whole movie really, really is all about men. Not that I complain, even after all these years (now don’t I sound old, ha ha ha), men are still my favorite subject and jokes about relationships are probably my favorite. Well, this film is sooo full of them! There is no single actress in the film that I am a fan of, and I seriously despise the actress of Peggy, so… what can I say? The film lives with its dialogue, and I loved it to pieces.
Of course there is no way the 2008 version could potentially match up to this amazing example, but out of fangirlness for the original film, I absolutely need to see it too.
