This movie is funny in places, bitter in some, too. The song they play (over and over) when she's at the party will stick in your head so far you'll need a songectomy.
A really good movie. Much better "young woman finding herself in the big city" than was "Frances Ha," or even "Breakfast at Tiffany's" (thought that obviously has other qualities). Patient, intelligent, warm, and funny, with enough conflict and growth to make it interesting and rewarding. I have an advantage in that I haven't read the book, so I can take the movie at face value. And from that vantage it works. Jeannie Berlin is wonderful, with the same ability to own the camera whenever she's on screen that she displayed last year in "Café Society". When she wants to look like a fish out of water, escaping an overbearing mother by moving to NYC, that's what you see. Awkward, unsure of herself, without any real outward appeal. But when she's supposed to be beautiful, indeed she is - you can't take your eyes off of her.
I happened to live in NYC at the time that this movie takes place, and the feel is just right.
My wife has been looking for a copy of this for years, and finally our daughter hunted one down on the "Loving The Clasics" label, whatever that might be. And it's in its original aspect ratio!

Adaptation of Gail Parent's celebrated novel about a quirky young woman who heads to New York City in search of a husband, but "finds herself instead" (as they say). Despite soupy production, bad editing and godawful music, Jeannie Berlin manages to shine as Sheila (she's utterly unpredictable and unconventional as a leading lady); Roy Scheider is also terrific in support as an eligible doctor (his spin-the-bottle monologue near the end is gorgeously done). Dated to be certain, but I got many laughs from sad-sack Sheila's predicaments. It's an offbeat, be-true-to-yourself serious-comedy, though hurt overall by a lack of restraint and a jerky narrative. **1/2 from ****

I haven't seen this movie in years but I remember it well and have been looking for it on video. So far no luck. Jeanie Berlin is so fabulous as Sheila. Of course if you are a New York single jewish woman (as I am) you would relate to her better, but she is just so perfectly "looser finds herself". The story is much different than that of the book but some of the character remain. But the movie is so 70's it's fun. And you can't help but fall in love with and root for Sheila. Someone out there get this to video!
"Sheila Levine Is Dead and Living in New York" is a quirky and dark romantic comedy that offers a unique take on the typical love story. With a runtime of 113 minutes, the 1975 film, directed by Sidney J. Furie, follows the life of a shy young woman, Sheila Levine (played by Jeannie Berlin), who moves to the bustling city of New York and finds herself in a complicated love triangle.
Based on the novel by Gail Parent, the film takes a different direction, offering a romantic drama with comedic elements. The story focuses on Sheila's journey as she navigates life in the big city, finding herself drawn to her roommate's boyfriend. The film effectively captures the challenges and emotions of a young woman striving to find her place and happiness in a new and fast-paced environment.
While the film has its charming moments, it falls short of being a truly memorable cinematic experience. The tone is inconsistent, veering from light-hearted to sentimental, and at times, confusing. The criticism by Pauline Kael of The New Yorker sums it up: "A confused, part-liberated rehash of old Hollywood attitudes." The film struggles to find a balance between its comedic and dramatic elements, resulting in a somewhat jarring viewing experience.
However, the film is not without its merits. Berlin's performance as Sheila is commendable, conveying a range of emotions with subtlety and depth. The film also captures the essence of 1970s New York, offering a glimpse into a bygone era of the city's history.
Overall, "Sheila Levine Is Dead and Living in New York" is an interesting yet flawed take on the romantic comedy genre. While it has its moments of charm and emotion, the inconsistent tone and confusing narrative let it down.
