Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })There's Always Vanilla is a 1971 Romantic Comedy/Dramedy directed by George A. Romero. It was his follow-up to Night of the Living Dead. Like Night of the Living Dead it's a low-budget film made in Pittsburgh with local talent. Unlike Night of the Living Dead...well, it's about as unlike that film as you can get, starting with it being in color.Chris Bradley (Raymond Laine) has turned his back on his family's baby food business, serving in the Army for a while and working as a guitarist on recording sessions. Unsatisfied with where his life is at, he goes back home to Pittsburgh. He meets Lynn (Judith Ridley Streiner, who played Judy in Night of the Living Dead), a beautiful model and TV commercial actress, and they quickly fall in love. But as she gets to know him and his irresponsible nature, she starts to have doubts whether their relationship will work out.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Romero's only film without any horror, supernatural, fantasy or action elements, it fell into obscurity and was very much an Old Shame for him, but it has been re-evaluated as a notable stepping stone in his development as a filmmaker, despite its flaws.

Book Ends: Two balloons floating in the air are the opening and closing images. In the last scene we see the finished version of the beer commercial that was being made at the start of the film.

Antihero: Chris is a perennial underachiever, and the movie is basically him blowing one golden opportunity after another (the love of a beautiful woman, a decent job, rebuilding bridges with people in his life).

All Girls Want Bad Boys: Basically the root of Lynn's attraction to Chris, but Chris is more of smooth-talking loser than a Lovable Rogue.
