I have found a new relationship with an old movie.

Neil Simon's Broadway success is brought to the big screen.
The story is of a newly married couple, Paul and Corie Bratter (Robert Redford, Jane Fonda), living on the very top floor of an apartment house. They are trying to cope with each other’s quirks and relatives. Toss in the strange Victor Velasco (Charles Boyer), a gregarious boarder in the attic.
Yep, I enjoyed this movie when it first came out. I could relate to the newlyweds, as many people start in similar environments. This movie version of the play has spoiled me to the point that other attempts at "Barefoot in the Park" fall short of my expectations.
A part that I thought was funny but had no relationship to, was the "little pink pills" that Corie's mother (Mildred Natwick) had to take to handle the rich food and drink environment. Now I take a little pink pill.
Does this mean that I am destined to end up in the Hotel National in Mexico City?
