This is a wonderful little escape from the world film. I'm astonished that it isn't out on DVD. I really like this movie, but am not going to pay $45 for a used vhs version - ridiculous. It's a shame that this one, and "Any Wednesday" aren't out on DVD yet.

This is one of those movies to which you can just curl up on the sofa and enjoy bigone simplistic but romantic views on social relationships. The movie, of course, is the product of its era, with all the expected restrictions to female sexuality and expression. However, get past that and enjoy the funny and warm performances. The DVD version is eagerly awaited since it's basically impossible to catch it on TV and, who has VHS only nowadays???

I stumbled upon this movie when I was channel surfing and immediately got hooked. I quickly jumped online to see if it was available for purchase. I was really disappointed that it's not available yet in DVD. $40 for a used VHS is really too much. It's a wonderful romantic movie about double standards between men and women. It's filled with stars. There's Rod Taylor (better known from Hitchcock's "The Birds"), Robert Culp ("I Spy"), Jane Fonda, Cliff Robertson, and Jim Backus ("Gilligan's Island). I concur that the restaurant scene is really funny. Excellent movie!!

This is one of about 10 movies that, like today, I can't NOT watch if I come across it on TV, no matter how many times I've seen it - it's that much fun. It features a wonderful cast of principals - not just Jane Fonda (in her "Barefoot in the Park" days), but Rod Taylor, Cliff Robertson and Robert Culp, all of whom have two extended scenes together that are marvels of comic timing and reaction (the previously mentioned restaurant scene, and the scene in the apartment leading up to it). It's a classic romantic comedy, that neatly and sweetly captures the tipping point in time just before everything changed between men and women.

This movie was awesome, I've always loved older movies, and the older way love was portrayed, nothing gross or vulgar about it. It is a wholesome story for anyone who enjoys the sweetness of an old movie.

Maybe not my most favorite movies of all time, but it is at the top of the list. Soundtrack to this movie was terrific. I have the original soundtrack album, but wish they would put it on CD. Jane Fonda was great in this movie. I was in love with her before the "Hanoi Jane" days. Still a good movie. Wonderful acting and writing.

I would describe this film as totally delightful and fun. I enjoyed the simplistic morality of Pre-Sexual Revolution Dating of the 60's. The actors are well cast and give great performances. But one other element that makes this movie great is the MUSIC! My mother was a music & movie buff who deemed "Sunday in New York" as one of the best because of the contribution of one of her favorite pianists, Peter Nero (who also makes a cameo appearance in this movie). Nero's music is expertly woven within the fabric of this movie and adds just the right touch to make this film terrific!

Thousands of bad movies have been released on DVD. What about this masterpiece? Afraid of not enough buyers because it's from the sixties? You'll be surprised. I copied this wonderful movie from video to DVD but I want the real thing in widescreen and more quality.

If only life was like this now. Robes spread in open view on the sofa to imply your mother was 'at home' and thus fend off romantic advances from middle-aged sports reporters.

Ahhhh.... A funny, warm, feel-good movie in the days when life was a lot simpler. Jane Fonda being extremely funny too - her naivety being extremely believable.

If you want to smile and see life in a more innocent time, and with great views of a clean and under-populated NYC....watch it.

They just dont make them like this anymore. There are loads of sophisticated comedies out there but this one is about emotions and maybe what falling in love is really all about. The cast, the story, the sets and locations all come together to give us a humorous glimpse at a time when chivalry and new... freedom were co-existing in the early 1960s. Rod Taylor was always one of my favorite actors. He was in true form here and Fonda and the rest of the cast make it so appealing that it will become a film you will hold dear to your heart once you see it.
