If The Apartment hit the spot, these will too

New York City shapes both of them

Both circle age difference and suicide attempt

Witty and playful in the same breath

The same preoccupation in both: romcom

The same mix in both: stillness, then romance

Both built around lovesickness
The difference: A 1940s film, from a different era of filmmaking

Both trade on tenderness more than on being comedy

Witty drama in both cases

Both keep circling back to suicide attempt

Playful romance, and it commits to that
The difference: Reviewed a good deal more coolly

Romcom is the engine of both

Comedy built on stillness, twice over
In the mood for more witty?
