  1. Oh my, I remember when divorce was a scandal not even talked about in front of children. You are correct, David, it was not invented in the 1960s. When my first marrriage (in all fairness neither she nor I were right for one another and basically wed under per pressrure) failed by 1977 I remember my mother thought I had brought such shame on the famiy. Fortunately, once I found the love of my life and married her in 1994 my mother and my new bride became very close and remained so until mom passed in 2018. The take-away from this film that rings true for me is, yes, get to know one another, be sure you are compatable, share the same moral and/or spiritual values, hold realistic expectations, and be sure you are willing to take seriously those vows. I learned with my wife of today that true love means I am more concerned about her well being than my comfort. I know she believes the same the other way around. Good film, as usual, David. I apologize for the long comment, but believe this is one timely for today, even if it is scripted in a manner we remember as teens. I hope your presenting it is helpful to many. Until next time.
