@SidFortune What resonates with me is that she's obviously reaching out to Orbach's character but he's too shy and uncertain of himself to respond, except finally at the end...Boy can I relate.

A show littered with good, likable tunes. Great chorus work and sturdy performances. Hard to remember that this is an adaption of "The Apartment". You forget Shirley McClaine and Jack Lemmon entirely. I say it several times and enjoyed it more each time.

"You'll Think of Some One" may be a minor Barchrach song but it delightfully moves the story forward at a temperature that reflects the phase of the relationship under consideration. It's wonderful to hear a young Orbach and, Wow, O'Hara is a delight.
