gosh and i be learn pretty fast that sometimes when you see a film a a youngster and then again 20 year later you gain a different view primarily because in 20 year you learn more . for example and i have no idea who george cukor be how great of a director he be and how much of that make this film fly . all i can say be . i really like this film for it touch on an area that parallel my life represent lifelong friendship between two woman . can that ever exist . well and in certain dos and yes . and this film let out in a bit on . how . be a youngster with not a lot of life experience at the first time i saw this so i focus more on the rich and famous part between the two . at the time and i have no idea there be a difference and what would happen to two woman who discover there be . and how that would effect their friendship . through their men and their career and the decade that define them . and come to realize one thing remain strong than anything else . their friendship and know each other more than anyone else could have . then i get old and study film a bit . and watch this film again with my best friend from high school . we do understand the rich and famous angle . and we be still the best of friend . but this film be not a cinematic masterpiece . it can be see a a bit campy at time . a little over the top at point ( kinda on a dynasty and dallas level to me . ) and honestly i can identify with the teddy bear scene for we do share a bear that mean a lot more than a stuffed fun toy through our trial and tribulation with men or career and et al . so it not a over the top a it seem . a many already say and see meg ryan and matt latanzzi and dack rambo and david selby be great in this 1981 piece . this be a nice chick flick .
