This is a story about two friends keeping in touch with each other throughout the years via writing letters. This is a very mild film, nothing really shocking, though not boring either. It is sort of interesting to see what happens to these people as they get older, but it's hard to relate with the high class problems they have. These two people's "problems" are problems that most of us wish we would have...meaning they go on and on about silly things (such as trying to decide whether to live in Florence or New York on a huge inheritance from her grandmother) and are self-absorbed.
What did keep me watching this was purely the fact that I went to a Star Trek convention in Las Vegas a few years ago, and Nana Visitor and Rene Auberjonois (from Deep Space Nine) did a live, shortened rendition of this movie (or a previous version of this movie since it seems to be a remake). They rocked and did a much better job of making the characters accessible.
