Rome Adventure, 1962, and How to Dress for Dinner

I think I was really trying to get If It's Tuesday, This Must Be Belgium, but I got Rome Adventure instead, and I'm not disappointed.

It reminds me that we wore dresses in those days and dressed for dinner.  In Rome Adventure, their dressing for dinner is formal wear--long formal gowns.  When Our Heroine Suzanne Pleshette goes to practice love with Rossano Brazzi, she wears a pink suit with matching pink shoes, and she believes him the way we were supposed to when he says that a woman's main purpose in life was to anchor men--tame the savage beast, and nothing was more precious than a one-man woman.

I don't think this is the kind of community-provided bench the SF Chronicle was talking about today in its article https://www.sfchronic...
