Because "nobody wants a beginner", Jane Fonda is a 22-year-old girl who just can't get rid of her darned virginity. While visiting her airline pilot brother, Fonda brings back a man to the apartment and attempts to seduce him by letting her hair down and chugging a glass of scotch and water. Up to this point, "Sunday In New York", adapted by Norman Krasna from his own play, is a fairly frothy sex-comedy about the process of putting sex off. But when Fonda's hometown semi-boyfriend drops in unexpectedly (and without even knocking!), and Fonda has to juggle everyone's identities, the picture becomes a labored, winking affair aimed at conservative audiences of the early '60s. ** from ****
