Synopsis: A couple is worried that their daughter might have "taken off" and starts looking for her. In the process, they too will experience what those words in quotes mean, in both the intransitive and the transitive senses...
Appraisal: A film of many wonders, genuinely funny and quite moving in its portrayal of an era and its fashionable concerns and attitudes. Also, marvelously edited (especially in some of the musical numbers). And the cast is perfect. I can't think of much else to say about it. As an embarrassing note, I add that some years ago I didn't care much for it, having quit halfway through it.
Rating: 78 -- 17th position among my favorites of 1971.
