I bought this film while collecting older fun, 50's movies, and was looking forward to it having recently become a fan of the Sandra Dee romantic comedies from the era. After watching the trailer, I realized it was much more serious and put off watching it quite a while because I am just not a big fan of "watch others lives in ruins" movie genre.
While the movie was filmed okay and seemed pretty typical for the time, the story just didn't interest me. I don't know people like that, hang out with people like that, bother wasting time with people like that. Didn't seem to have any heroes or positive models or good ending or anything. With each new revealed negative event, I began hitting 1.5x speed on the remote to just get it over with. Again, it just wasn't my thing I guess. I will never watch this movie again. And play to re-watch "That funny feeling" again soon to get the disgusting taste of this movie out of my mind.
The things I enjoy in these older classics is the time travel back to live scenery of the cities, the cars, locations, houses, even decorations and it delivered that pretty good. I understand the impact it probably had in it's day, but it offered me little in the way of "movie entertainment"
