NYC: "Imagine 8 million people wanting to live together! This must be the friendliest place on earth." Keep in mind this was filmed back in the 80s, so there’s lots of big hair/too much makeup/tacky polyester outfits. If you can accept the fact that a sophisticated New York photojournalist can live happily with a cheerfully macho, Outback-bred hunter, then enjoy this lighthearted film, where love proclaims itself in an “only in New York” kind of ending. There are some cute cultural mismatches, like when he climbs a light pole to suss out his hotel location, stares uncomprehendingly at a high-end Italian restaurant menu (primo plati, etc.), misunderstands what a coke user is doing, and treats everyone (i.e., supposedly subordinate hotel staff, limo driver) as equals.
