Pillow Talk
Why this pick

Lover Come Back
Why this pick
Its Madison Avenue setting, high-speed deception, and combative flirtation closely match the candy-coloured, early-1960s rom-com world that Down with Love affectionately sends up.
03
The Thrill of It All
Why this pick
A bright, witty Doris Day-era satire of advertising and domestic expectations, played with polished studio glamour and buoyant screwball momentum.
04
What a Way to Go!
Why this pick
For more extravagant 1960s design, comic feminism, and knowingly heightened romance, this delivers lavish costumes and a boldly stylized pop sensibility.
05
Bye Bye Birdie
Why this pick
This similarly exuberant retro confection pairs saturated colour, choreographed comic energy, and affectionate satire of early-1960s gender roles and celebrity culture.

01 / THE STORY
A little about the film.
New in New York City, in 1962, Barbara Novak arrives at Banner House to present her new work, ''Down with Love'', a book the intent of which is to free women from love, teach them to enjoy sex without commitment, and to replace the need for a man with things such as chocolate. Following her rules would, she believes, help to give women a boost in the workplace and in the world in general.
