Something's Gotta Give (2003 Nancy Meyers & scr)

There's something suspect in all this, the talk of empowered women over 50 frightening off men - then when Diane's rejected she keeps sobbing like a baby. Pull yourself together girls!

My favourite scene is still the 'pyjama party' being interrupted, a delicious bit of editing of wonderful performances, one of those 'ballet of the eyes' sequences. (Another one going on in Paris restaurant.) Joe Hutshing is the credited editor, though there's also a credit to Stephen A Rotter for 'additional editing'. What's that all about? We'll have to ask him.



They missed a trick here - Jack should have been playing Orson Welles!

Added treat - Jack sings us out with 'La Vie En Rose'. I am reliably informed that he also sings in The Who's Tommy (had forgotten he was even in it).
