This was playing as part of Alamo Drafthouse’s Queer Theory 101 series. I hadn’t seen it for at least thirty years so I had completely forgotten (or missed) the Melanie/Annie subtext. Watching now, it’s amazing how much more chemistry they have than Melanie and Mitch. If they ever manage to get the remake off the ground, I wouldn’t be surprised if Mitch dies and Melanie & Annie end up together.
Also: Suzanne Pleshette was a smokeshow, and Rod Taylor looked like a heroic cartoon.
Today’s fake poster is a lazy pun.
