music by André Previn
How many relationships end with a mutual declaration of love?
None. Because relationships never really end.
I think that’s what Two for the Seesaw (unexplicably rendered in Spanish as Cualquier día en cualquier esquina) is all about. An underrated gem starring Robert Mitchum (Out of the Past) as Jerry and fantastic Shirley MacLaine (how come I’ve never seen any film with her before?) as Gittel.
The opening sequence, complete with Previn’s theme (and trumpet solo by Uan Rasey), is a vintage classic. I bet it looked and sounded a vintage classic already in 1962.
