Barefoot & Beautiful

Photo sleuthed from THIS LINK.
Finished watching happy old movie OnDemand—“Barefoot in the Park,” the 1967 madcap romance starring Jane Fonda and Robert Redford, both adorable as fresh-faced newlyweds in NYC. Costumes by Edith Head—pretty hot pink dress, cute coats, turtlenecks, booties, dreamy blue bathrobe for Jane w matching slippers. Also loved Jane’s hair!!! Every ounce of this movie, adapted from a Neil Simon play, is delicious. Happy-go-lucky, bubbly, fashionable, sweet. Like Champagne..

I rented it for $4.95 for a work assignment—I interviewed a cowboy out in Colorado whose music [he sings it w his wife] is on the soundtrack of the new Netflix movie reuniting the 2 megastars 50 years later. Jane Fonda and Robert Redford are still perfect together in “Our Souls at Night,” a romance brimming with beauty. You just want to be them! They make being near 80 sexy.

I longed to watch the first just to put things in context as I wrote about the new film. The cowboy singer and wife are Michael and Dawn Moon. I added their songs  to my Spotify playlist!

  2. Yes, it is adorable! Though you can tell it’s based on a play, the way it’s staged in
    some parts. It’s endearing. Xo
