Is it supposed to be understood that Judy has calmed Howard's nervousness and insecurities by the end of the film? (Even though she was exaccerbating them throughout the film?) Because he seems calmer and more concious of his surroundings or whatever at the airport and in the plane.
I hope this isn't a stupid question!

You could argue that Judy represents the chaos and unpredictability of life. In the film this becomes Howard's life along with her own, of course. Howard's fiancée, Eunice, is the opposite. A comically cold and hard representation of an unfeeling and very unadventurous orderly life.
Ultimately he falls in love with Judy's unpredictabilty and winning personality. Realizing that he'd rather not have everything mapped out with certainty before him. There is also the young, cute and very fit Streisand we're talking about here. On the other hand you could choose Eunice...if you wanted the pleasures of a boringly ordered life or are a masochist...
The best romantic screwball comedies use these aspects as source material for their plots; Bringing Up Baby, The Philadelphia Story and the TV series Moonlighting are three good examples.

That's a good take on it. Thanks!

*lol* Judy certainly does add spice to Howard's life. Plus she's very cute, funny,and smart. No wonder Howard fell in love with her.
