Watched this last night - it's 2021. Have tried to give it a fair rating
MDB current rating 8.0? This is only going to fall over time.
This film must have seemed excellent at the time with some very good performances from the male leads, an insight into the extraordinary lifestyle available to the few in that period, while having an underlying social commentary
Unfortunately time has not dealt kindly with the comedy films of the past
The dividing line is in my view about 1970. Little before that stands up well today. The Graduate and The Producers still look good but precious little else does. There are outliers like Kind Hearts and Coronets, and Les Vacances de M Hulot, but these are few and far between.
Will put it down as a learning experience
