Sunday in New York
(1963)Before she became a great star and a two-time Academy Award® winner,* Jane Fonda was a screen ingénue who sent a string of bubblyromantic comedies soaring, including this charmer from the prolific pen of Norman Krasna (Bachelor Mother, The Devil and MissJones). Fonda portrays a virginal miss blessed with long limbs and a knockout profile who runs off from her fiancé (Robert Culp) tothe swingin' pad of her brother (Cliff Robertson) and then into the arms of a guy she meets on the 5th Avenue bus (Rod Taylor) – allthe while trying to decide if she'll say "yes" before she says "I do." Filmed on location, Sunday in New York is a fun,sophisticated romp set to a hip Peter Nero score that features Mel Torme singing the title tune.
