“I guess I don’t feel… married”
Love in the big city. I don’t know the details of Minelli and Garland’s romance but you can tell that is a man in love by the way he shoots her face. There’s a scene in a restaurant where there’s a close-up of Judy and it’s basically just her face that’s being illuminated and you just can see it there. As for the actual love story of the movie, it’s really compelling. Watching these two insanely charismatic actors getting immediately caught up in each other’s charm and not resisting that sensation is marvellous, and that’s all staged wonderfully by Minelli.
It’s a certified NY film, and it’s about the ins and outs, the bad and the good, the harmony and the dissonance that comes from the noise and the crowds. It’s very ambiented, in the dinner scene after they get married, a man just sit down and smokes while they talk about their feelings. He never opens his mouth or anything, but he’s there. There’s also the driver they befriend, who’s a lovely addition, and he brings out the film’s main idea: does it matter how long you know someone? For these two, the answer is most certainly no. The most beautiful scene in this thing is when they go to the church and take the time to read the marriage transcript, and the camera looks from far away as the lights are turned off. I suppose that it could afford to be more comtemplative, and some moments are worse than other but still a fantastic film all around.
