This movie is a really interesting one and a breakthrough movie of this era because they show a back room abortion that goes awry. So, even though it doesn't happen it sets the tone of the times before when Roe VS. Wade was happening in many ways. I was only 15 in 1963 and the birth control pill had only been legal for 3 years when this movie was made so many people didn't even know about it yet including the Characters they played in this movie. By 1965 everyone knew about the birth control pill and it completely changed the lives of women all across America and Europe at the time.
But, it also demonstrates the world we would return to here in the U.S. if Abortions were made illegal once again with Back room quacks using coat hangers to remove babies in the first few months of life.
Despite this one difficult scene this is a very sweet movie in many ways and Natalie Wood considered it to be a risk in her career even making this movie. But also like Bob and Carol and Ted and Alice a few years later this movie more defined 1963 and before in New York and every town U.S.
I also knew people like this in Los Angeles in 1963 that reminded me of these people even though East Coasters were different than people in Los Angeles then in many ways in 1963. This was a truly breakthrough movie for it's time.
IT stars Natalie Wood and Steve McQueen and they both really shine in this movie.
It wasn't until the Summer of love in 1967 that the world radically started to change to be more like it is now.
So, you will notice just how bad communication between people (especially lovers) was in this movie which mirrored real life then.
I was 15 years old and lived in Glendale, California then in 1963 and attended Glendale High School where John Wayne went to high school before me by many years. Glendale is a suburb of Los Angeles, California.
