Though the funny thing is, if a decent film is made about the stereotype
("Parting Glances"), it's no longer irritating.  In this latest movie,
the principals work for the World Health Organization and a publishing
house as an editor, respectively, have a decent yuppie apartment, and
hang out with the art crowd in the Big Apple.  I still found myself
wondering how large their combined disposable income must be to afford
their comfortable if not opulent lifestyle in as expensive a city as
New York.  But since the acting, screenplay, cinematography & direction
were good, I didn't feel socio-economically "estranged" from the characters,
as I did in "Making Love" or "An Early Frost" with their zombie-like
principals and their glacial interaction.
