When Heather Met Sarah

"Stay Virtuous.": SUNDAY IN NEW YORK


Listen Later

“I know this movie came out in 1963, but Jeepers Criminy, why are men so obsessed with controlling a woman’s virginity?” Heather asks, steam emitting from her ears. “Calm down,” says Sarah. “Consider the time era, it is actually quite progressive for that decade,” as her eyes dart nervously back and forth.

Join us, as we examine this Rom Com, love triangle blueprint of a movie, and take a stroll with us on a rainy and steamy, “Sunday In New York.” Jane Fonda bats this one out of the park, taking all her mustered up training as an actor to portray a virgin. (….Who said that?) Seriously, despite her second billing to a male character with a smaller role than hers, she acts her heart out in this film, delivering expert comedic timing and wide eyed disbelief that would make Lucile Ball finally push the marital twin beds together on the “I Love Lucy” set. (Shut Up, Sarah…)

This movie teases the ole’ classic cinematic seduction scene, but makes it brunch: Sultry music, Bloody Marys, sneaky, stolen moments, hot toddy’s, and don’t forget the bagels. There’s an uncouth American Pie joke in here, somewhere.
