-
The accepted take on this is that the first half is delightful while the second half disappoints, which yeah it is supposed to be disappointing because there were no good choices for the characters. I really don't know what ending people wanted instead. Jackson and Segal are just fantastic, being really funny while selling the tragedy of the ending.
-
A funny bit of romping between George Segal and Glenda Jackson. It makes a bit too much light of adultery but ultimately we can forgive it because of its charm.
-
Bittersweet comedy helped immeasurably by the chemistry of the stars and the skill of their performances. Glenda is brash and delicate in equal measure, George bombastic but good natured. While it shows the pitfalls of infidelity it doesn't judge its characters for their choices and actually presents all the relationships, including Glenda's gay assistant's, evenhandedly rather surprising for the 70's.
