How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A charming mid-sixties romp where a neglected wife's elaborate bank heist becomes less about crime and more about getting attention, from anyone. It's a light-hearted tangle of mistaken intentions and romantic misunderstandings wrapped in glamorous disguises.
