Screenplay won Oscar and BAFTA. Frances McDormand is great. Has a hint of The Apartment. (Of course - 'Conversations with Wilder' was being written concurrently.)
After spending some of the day in hospital I concluded that the go to feel-good directors are Crowe, Sturges, Bogdanovich and Anderson.
Must watch the theatrical release some time, out of interest (2 hours 2).
Penny Lane was Pennie Trumbull.
"You'll meet them all again on the long journey to the middle."
Mother - 'Here's that money I owe you. Your father's favourite joke."
"Come back later - I'm in too truthful a mood."
"Righteous weed."
You build the scene up, the audience thinks they know where you're going - then you go somewhere else.
Film took $47m, but cost $60.
