A few days ago I mentioned on my Facebook Page that we had watched a movie the night before called "How to Murder Your Wife". I wrote that it was made in the 60's (1965 to be exact) and that it was very cute.
And it was.
However, what I did not mention, and should have, was that it was FILLED with gorgeous 60's coolness, and if you are in love with that era, you will want to feast your eyes on this movie.
But first, a little music to listen to while you read this... it's from 1965, the year this movie was made.
OK - all set?
So, let's begin...
First, Jack Lemmon is adorable. He is cute, witty and loveable, even though he is a confirmed bachelor in the story and maybe even a bit chauvinistic. I won't tell you too much of the plot. If you're interested in that, you can watch the trailer here.
But what I really LOVED and what kept my eyes glued to the screen was the gorgeous setting - Stanley's townhouse in New York City, with it's scrumptious, very tasteful 60's decor and furniture. I, unfortunately could not find very many photos of the townhouse, but here are few...
The entry to the townhouse is one room on the first floor, with a fabulous staircase leading up the rest of the house.
I wish I could find photos of the townhouse living room, but alas none were to be found.
This is Stanley's studio in his townhouse... he is a cartoonist...
...and has a comic strip about his alter ego, Bash Brannigan, Secret Agent...
Virna Lisi, an Italian actress, is stunning as Stanley's wife, and you will love her clothing and hairstyles. So very retro yummy.
Right now the movie is on instant play on Netflix, so if you feel so inclined, go ahead and enjoy! It's perfect for a rainy day. Just snuggle in with your vintage afghan and a cup of tea.
Go ahead.
You have my permission.
And let me know what you think of the townhouse!!
Much love,
Helena
Oh, and P.S. - I have a few new vintage fabric wall pockets in the shop. I've had a few requests for them.
