The Kids These Days™ often will never know about these movies in the original. Plus, social mores have changed so much that they can't relate to them, so they do remakes.

BTW, what do you suppose N. Simon was saying with that film? The ending has Lenny in a solemn, staid Minnesota wedding, I recall without any of his family. Maybe foreshadowing an unhappily ever after scenario, or a warning against buying into the Jewish-guy/WASP-girl stereotypes.

All I know is that Cybill Shepherd should have been with me back when that movie was made. She looked like my sister and I looked like Steve McQueen............. Cybill and I were about the same age (she was three years younger)......... and dinner was offered to the darling girl.
