I just watched this film again today after not having seen it for many years. I grew up in 1960's New York and was reminded of a lot of the good times there and feelings I had as an adolescent girl, struggling to grow up and figure out what it all meant. Since I love classical music, it's always fun to watch a movie where it plays even a peripheral part. Someone here said the film portrays a New York that never really existed. I don't think that's true - it did, and perhaps still does, exist for a young girl full of hopes and dreams, imagining all the possibilities of a future that lies ahead. Yes, "The World of Henry Orient" is basically an innocent movie. Well, what's wrong with that? It's also charming and funny and aware. Be sure to get a copy for your young daughter or niece, and watch it with her!
