Abstract
A system of equations which describe the dynamics of a thin two-dimens ional free film is analyzed in the vicinity of rupture. These equation s contain the effects of surface tension and van der Waals forces. A s imilarity solution is sought, and a dominant balance argument is propo sed and supported with numerical calculations.
