We just watched these this week. They are both movies with Rock Hudson, Doris Day, and Tony Randall...their themes are similar...working girl meets guy who she thought was someone else....but they were incredible! I've never really watched the older movies and I didn't know what to expect. Both of these movies were brilliant...what I found fascinating was that they could have been filmed in the year 2001 and still applied in terms of moral values and societal expectations.

In both films, Doris Day played a working woman who was an executive or owned her own business...I thought that that was unusual for the late 50's and early 60's...she was a confident, competent career-girl in a time where I assumed that women were viewed as being more "domestic". Romance and sex were also continuous themes...something that I hadn't expected from a film from that time..

Thes are really good films...check them out...I'll bet the video store has them in stock this weekend...but they are as good as any new release.

Charade with Audrey Hepburn and Cary Grant. Of course, anything with Cary Grant is great in my opinion!
