The Lucy show as film music
I was in a hotel room a couple of weeks ago and, there being nothing else on the TV, I watched “Pretty Woman” Julia Roberts and Richard Gere and, not going into the moral grounding of the film which is complex, an interesting bit of soundtrack struck me: When Julia Roberts is about to perform a sex act on Gere she switches the TV off. (She has been watching The Lucy Show and lying on the floor giggling like a little girl)
As soon as the TV show’s antics have been silenced, a new seriousness is experienced by us, the viewer. The little girl has grown up and become aware of sexual tension…
Neat work!
