How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A charming mid-century romantic comedy about a naive cowboy's pursuit of a cafe singer and the journey, literal and emotional, that teaches them both something about dreams and desire. Marilyn Monroe anchors the film with warmth and comedy, creating a film that's equal parts sweet and gently satirical about masculine fantasy versus feminine autonomy.
