Barefoot in the Park
“Broadway's barest, rarest, unsquarest love play.”
In this film based on a Neil Simon play, newlyweds Corie, a free spirit, and Paul Bratter, an uptight lawyer, share a sixth-floor apartment in Greenwich Village. Soon after their marriage, Corie tries to find a companion for mother, Ethel, who is now alone, and sets up Ethel with neighbor Victor. Inappropriate behavior on a double date causes conflict, and the young couple considers divorce.
This film feels like a delightful, sun-drenched stroll through 60s Greenwich Village. It's a charming exploration of newlywed dynamics, balancing spirited whimsy with tender moments of understanding. The witty banter and effervescent energy create a lighthearted, romantic atmosphere perfect for a cozy evening.
