Review of Design for Living (1933) by Chrisanne S — 16 Jan 2009

I liked this movie, but it made me feel a bit awkward in spots. But then I think the awkwardness was part of why I liked it.

It's kind of like "Bob and Carol and Ted and Alice" in that it's experimenting with the whole issue of monogamy, love and friendship, jealousy, emotional self control, what's open-minded versus what is kind of helplessly cruel. People struggling to balance passion and honesty with empathy and sensitivity.

So, I definitely liked it, but in an uncomfortable sort of way.
