PHFFFT!/Austin Film Society

Moving along in this series of remarriages was tonight's film PHFFFT!  The house was packed, lots of couples I observed.  And what could be better than Jack Lemmon, Judy Holiday, Kim Novak and Jack Carson portraying a post divorce couple and the lamentations and silly hook ups that occur once they obtain their freedom?  Abe just loved the make-up, wardrobes and sets of this 1954 film.  And I loved the schmaltz.  That when all is said and done the partner you've been through life's mundane exercises and crises and tribulations with may just well be the person you actually love.  What a great message to be reminded of.
