ivyficY'all, I just found the most delightful poly romance movie--and it's from 1933. Design for Living, loosely based on a Noel Coward play, is about a woman who falls in love with two best friends. And I'm going to spoil the ending--it ends in a triad.
The whole thing is witty and naughty and so much fun. There are no bad guys, not even the stick-in-the-mud foil to our three leads. I watched it with my girlfriend, and she immediately bought a copy to send to a poly friend.
The catch is it's not on any streaming service, but it is on a Criterion Collection DVD, which I could pick up for cheap. Seriously, seriously, this movie is delightful throughout and is still something you're unlikely to see in a mainstream movie.
(Makes note for next year Yuletide nominations...)
