14 songs in the Soundtracks, although La Mer is listed twice.

Sweet comedy fantasy romance between SM & VT (m. '86-94). They did 2 movies together, the first being All of Me ('84). I have no idea what part of this film motivated someone to add Drama to its genres... the sweetness?

This is the film where SJP plays SanDeE*, and MH refuses to open her own car door. I wonder how she leaves home alone.
