Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

This is a very clever movie and one of the best of the sixties. The point of the movie is that it was a period piece...that was the whole idea. People knew the world was changing. Sorry no cell phones. So ignore the reviews that suggest that this is somehow a problem. It is a fun, definitely not serious movie.Jane Fonda in perhaps her best acting role and probably the same can be said for Rod Taylor. Cliff Robertson is very funny and he is maybe the best part of it. Robert Culp does a stand up job playing the poor guy who is bound to get dumped. You know it is going to happen, but you still play along.

Jane Fonda stars as virginal Eileen Tyler and Cliff Robertson as Adam Tyler her brother in this pleasant risqué (for the time) comedy set in New York. Fonda comes into her own in this film in more of a starring role (in terms of actual screen time) than in her previous films. She plays a virgin who is growing impatiently curious about sex because of her fiancé's delayed proposal when she meets Mike Mitchell, played by Rod Taylor, on a bus on a Sunday afternoon in New York. Robert Culp is Russ Wilson, Fonda's out-of-town fiancé. Complications ensue when Robertson, Taylor, and Culp end up at Robertson's apartment with Fonda needing to explain who is who. Comedy and handling of subject matter, daring then, is dated now but fun nevertheless.Fonda is pretty good in this role; Robertson is good as Fonda's pilot playboy brother who spends the length of the film trying to get a day off with his fiancé Mona Harris played by Jo Morrow. Taylor is suave but becomes uncharacteristically awkward when caught with Fonda in Robertson's apartment. Culp is bright-eyed and bushy-tailed as Fonda's out-of-town fiancé. The New York location shooting is fun and breezy, including a scene in Central Park with Jim Hutton appearing briefly in a row boat. Jim Backus plays the chief pilot. Peter Nero appears in the film at his club playing piano of course. Mel Torme sings the title song. Norman Krasna wrote the screenplay based on his Broadway play. **1/2 of 4 stars.

A diverting bedroom farce involving a cute meeting, mixed-up identities, dialog daring for the time, and Rockefeller Center.Jane Fonda, at her most succulent, bumps into Rod Taylor on a mid-town Manhattan bus, then again later, and then they get caught in a rainstorm and wind up at the apartment of Fonda's absent airline-pilot brother (Cliff Robertson). Taylor is, of necessity, attracted to Fonda but puzzled by her. She keeps insisting that her mother is also staying at the apartment -- a ploy to keep rapacious men at bay -- but Fonda and Taylor discover a black bra and negligee hanging in the closet. Mom's? No -- it belongs to roué Robertson's girl friend, whom he is at the moment chasing all over town.Jane is twenty-two years old and still, well, as she puts it, "a beginner." And her brother has insisted she stay that way. In fact, he swore to her earlier than he did not sleep with women. Now, having discovered the lingerie in the closet, Fonda decides that if it's good enough for Robertson, it's good enough for her, and she decides to seduce Taylor. It doesn't work -- because Taylor refuses to take advantage of a beginner. This, as an excuse, is akin to that used in earlier movies in which the heroine drinks too much because of her anxiety, passes out, and the hero refuses to molest her in this state.You following all this? Then it really gets twisted. Fonda's fiancé from Albany (Robert Culp) bursts in unexpectedly and mistakes Taylor for Fonda's brother. Then Robertson bursts in unexpectedly and is introduced to Culp as Taylor's co-pilot. Lots of moments that are both confusing and amusing. (If you liked "My Favorite Wife," you ought to like this. Taylor has the Cary Grant role, and he's quite good, with those upside-down ears.) Cute dialog too, with some dash for the period. When Fonda confronts Robertson with his lie under oath about never having slept with women, he pounces. "That's the loophole -- sleeping." The H-word occurs, and the V-word, and some other edgy phrases, the use of which is emphasized by the director through the use of sudden close up, indicating, "This is a shocking thing you're hearing." You get to see and hear quite a bit of Peter Nero, the Eddie Duchin of his day. You don't really get to see much of New York, though. Too bad, because in 1962, when this was shot, it had yet to deteriorate. People were clean, carefully groomed, and lived in stable neighborhoods. McSorley's Old Ale House was still exclusively male. Julius's, in the Village, was not yet completely gay, just partly gay. You could sleep in Washington Square if you didn't get caught.It all seems harmless now, and kind of fun.

Romantic comedies, new or old, when well-made, are always fun to watch. Philadelphia Story, What's Up Doc, Shakespeare in Love, Down With Love, About a Boy, Groundhog Day and many more are examples of movies that are worth watching over and over. I hadn't seen Sunday in New York in many years but found, after a recent viewing, that I rank this one pretty highly as well.It's 2008 now, which means this movie is 45 years old (and, interestingly, Fonda, Taylor, Robertson and Culp are all alive). Because most of the leads in Sunday in New York are played by familiar actors, this film offers a nice dose of curiosity as well. Each played their part memorably.I also think this would be worth consideration for a remake. We're having some fun speculating on who would be best to play each part.
