But anyhow, you missed the point. It was about how a somewhat post-middle-aged man dealt with his...aging. The superficiality of modern existence, the demands of business, the downside of the "jet age" with its substitution of electronic stimulus for physical contact...
It was Bill's struggle with potential boredom, depression, and feelings of worthlessness that formed the core of the movie. It was a scathing satire, hidden somewhat behind the jovial, long-suffering persona of Mr. Murray.
I guess you didn't care much for "Last Tango...," either?
