Julia and Julie is not a chick flick. At an after movie dinner, my friends and I discussed our surprise that while cooking was certainly a theme, marriage relationships, the influence of the McCarthy era, family, gender equity, humor and perseverance led to much spontaneous discussion. Nora Ephron, on "The View," related that her script was based on the many letters that Julia and her friends had written to each other over the many years that Julia and her husband, a U.S, diplomat, lived abroad. I purchased a used but like-new copy of THE ART OF FRENCH COOKING, Vol. 1, at Amazon. In the fall, we, using recipes from the cookbook, plan to host a Julia child formal dinner for four couples.
