You're a Big Boy Now (1966)
You’re a Big Boy Now (1966) is an American comedy film written and directed by Francis Ford Coppola, based on David Benedictus’ 1963 novel of the same name. Nineteen-year-old Bernard Chanticleer, known as ‘Big Boy’ to his parents, resides in Great Neck, New York with his overbearing mother and disapproving father, who is the curator of incunabula at the New York Public Library. Employed as a low-level assistant at the library, Bernard’s father decides it’s time for him to move into his own Manhattan apartment. His mother reluctantly agrees and arranges for him to live in a rooming house managed by Miss Nora Thing. However, there is one catch – Miss Thing’s late brother’s aggressive pet rooster occupies the fifth floor, which Bernard must pass through to reach his room.
Miss Thing assures Bernard’s mother that the rooster only targets young, attractive women. Despite Mrs. Chanticleer’s insistence that her son has no interest in girls, an agreement is made with Miss Thing to report any potential ‘female’ activity. Mrs. Chanticleer frequently sends locks of hair to her son at his new place of residence. However, despite what she believes, Bernard is actually very intrigued by the opposite sex. He remains a naive and inexperienced virgin despite his curiosity. Barbara Darling, a stunning actress who exudes an icy demeanor, has captivated Bernard from afar. Meanwhile, Amy Partlett, a former classmate of Bernard’s who now works at his father’s office, reveals her feelings for him.
