And then, not so miraculously, changes again. This is a tangy frappe of a movie--preposterously comic, deliriously romantic, outrageously stylish in black-and-white.

Emboldened by the stylish look of pregnant celebrities like Annette Bening and Cindy Crawford, body-conscious expectant mothers are clamoring for hip, clingy garb that will show off their burgeoning-but-still-sexy silhouettes. Designers and retailers aiming at this market are burgeoning too. Barneys New York launched a maternity line in January, and A Pea in the Pod, a maker of upscale maternity wear, has exclusive deals with designers Nicole Miller, Vivienne Tam and Lily Pulitzer. Business is expanding quite nicely. Mothers Work, the world's largest...
