!!Provides examples of:
* ButNotTooGay: The film shies away pretty awkwardly from definitively saying whether or not Lytton slept with Partridge.
* DrivenToSuicide: Carrington, after Lytton's death.
* EmbarrassingFirstName: Carrington prefers to go by her last name since she thinks "Dora" is pretty ghastly.
* IncompatibleOrientation: Lytton and Carrington's relationship in a nutshell.
* MeetCute: When they first meet, Lytton mistakes Carrington for a teenage boy.
* NatureAbhorsAVirgin: Carrington's older friends pressure her to give it up to her boyfriend because they're bitter that they couldn't get any at that age.
