Lovers and Other Strangers became a "sleeper" hit, based on a play by Renée Taylor and Joseph Bologna. The story is essentially a series of vignettes and anecdotes, unified by an impending marriage.

It has the tact to hold back, to trust its characters to somehow fumble through to something that's not love, maybe, but will do.
Top CriticA charming, hilarious film that skillfully balances the many divergent storylines into a fascinating, entertaining whole.
The best element of this Broadway play to the big screen transfer is the acting of the entire ensemble, headed by Richard Castellano, who received a Supporting Actor Oscar nomination.
A witty movie - the success of which Howard never repeated.
