Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Adam Tyler (Cliff Robertson) is a pilot working under Chief Pilot Drysdale (Jim Backus). His sister Eileen Tyler (Jane Fonda) is recovering after breaking up with boyfriend Russ Wilson (Robert Culp) from a rich family. She leaves home in Albany and surprises Adam in New York with a visit. The 23 year old virgin wonders if she is suppose to sleep with men after dating a certain amount of time. Adam insists that he doesn't sleep around but that's not the case. His latest partner is Mona Harris (Jo Morrow). Eileen meets Mike Mitchell (Rod Taylor) getting stuck together on a crowded bus.This is definitely a single gal from another era. Jane Fonda shows some real charm. The first pin isn't that funny but the second time is hilarious. Cliff Robertson and Jo Morrow are almost secondary on their side of the movie as Fonda outshines them all. She's in her mid 20's and starts her rise. It would have been nice for her to have a more animated partner.

This is one of the most delightful, enjoyable and successful comedies of the 60s, and in 50 years it has lost nothing of its charm and not aged at all. Everyone remains young at heart somewhere in his being, and this film is something of a miracle worker bringing out that feeling of eternal continuous youth. The question is where all the charm is coming from. All the actors are in top form, but Jane Fonda and Rod Taylor are leading the show, she in a dominating character of constantly impressing eloquence and honesty, while he supplies a more subtle charm of the discreet comfort of an accompanying orchestra. It must be pointed out how much the music means for this film. It is perfect all the way and supplies exactly the right mood for every scene, constantly changing between jazz, entertainment and classical romantic - sometimes it approaches Rachmaninov. Above all, this is Norman Krasna's best script, and he was one of the most experienced script writers of Hollywood with decades of professional work behind him. The dialog couldn't be better. Phrases like "If I were you I would kiss me" and the dialog "What's the matter with you women?" Answer: "Men!" will stick forever like the best repartees of the heyday of screwball comedies. The story is ingenious: two couples find each other through jungles of complications and more than one regular mess. In brief, for a comedy, everything is perfect in this film, nothing is missing or lacking, it offers everything and will remain a joy every time you see it.

You have to make allowances for its time. What was "naughty" in 1963 is mild stuff today. Given that, it's a fun movie, thanks to a clever story, a first-rate cast, and a couple of nice songs.Cliff Robertson shows real comic timing, with Rod Taylor something of a straight man. Taylor is, as usual, a likable fellow--quite masculine but perfectly willing in this part to let himself be socked in the face a couple of times, splashed by passing trucks, and subjected to the baleful eye of Robertson as the protective big brother. Jane Fonda is just right as a young woman both virginal and luscious.The film has many ingredients hinting at the sophistication of the Kennedy era--the sophisticated bachelor apartment, Peter Nero's night club music, and especially New York as a really great place to be when you are young enough and accomplished enough to enjoy it. New York as a city infested with crime and on the verge of bankruptcy was a dozen years in the future.One notices the easy confidence of the male characters. Much would change, starting soon after the picture was made with JFK's assassination and followed by years of turmoil and grief, as well as rapid progress for women and, at least politically, for blacks. White males would never again rule the roost unchallenged.

If you're one of those shallow enough to complain, as another reviewer does, when a film "betrays it's Broadway roots," you're probably not sophisticated enough to appreciate the very real pleasures of a film like Sunday IN NEW YORK where the lines in the screenplay actually contribute enormously to the enjoyment of the film. While not quite as well crafted as the classics of the genre, Neil Simon's BAREFOOT IN THE PARK or Jean Kerr's MARY, MARY, Sunday IN NEW YORK benefits enormously from Norman Krasna crafting the screenplay from his own successful Broadway play.Krasna is, in fact, prescient in several of his lines where he acknowledges that "in the future" people will take these things more in their stride - at least to the extent of premarital sex at the age of these characters - but while the age of experience may have shifted, the frustrations and anxieties of initiation probably never will and following "innocent" Jane Fonda, her protective but experienced brother, Cliff Robertson and the object of her temptation, Rod Taylor, through these beautifully filmed 105 minutes will provide not only enormous fun for those grownup enough to enjoy the ride without explosions and chase scenes (actually, there are a couple of those!) but a wonderful window on how we viewed our sex lives only a few years ago.Sunday IN NEW YORK may be on a craft level of Neil Simon's first Broadway (and film) hit, COME BLOW YOUR HORN, but Krasna had been providing satisfying works for both Hollywood (WIFE VS. SECRETARY, MR. AND MRS. SMITH, WHITE Christmas) and Broadway (DEAR RUTH, KIND SIR) for decades before Simon started, and this represents some of his best comedy writing. It's a second tier joy. Consider making it a "flying double feature" (Robertson plays an airline pilot with TWA which is complicating HIS sex life) with the British BOEING BOEING, and you've got a great Sunday's escape in any city you please. Solid literate fun.
