You want to go back to the time when romantic comedies really were romantic? This is a fond memory of mine from my college days and it holds up well all these years later. Glenda Jackson shines in her second Oscar winning performance and George Segal makes up the handsome other half of two people who have an affair and happen to fall in love against all expectations. They don’t make ‘em any better than this. Pop come corn, get your Raisinettes and get ready to enjoy movie night at home.
Grosse klasse,100% empfehlenswert, Folgendes:diese Sendung ist nicht bei mir eingetroffen obwohl wurde versandt,nach 3 wochen über den Lieferungstermin hab'ich reklamiert und ohne irgendwilche Streit oder Diskussion hat man mir den Preis zurückerstattet,so etwas gibt es sehr selten. Durch ein wunder ist ist das Paket doch eingetroffen,scheinbar bei dem Zoll abgekommen.
I had never seen this movie when it was screened at the cinema and I had ordered it for a friend who has been telling me about it for years. She loaned it to me to watch and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was really something different for Glenda Jackson and she was marvellous as was George Segal. They are complete strangers who seem to be bumping into each other all the time. She is a divorcee and he is married with children. They decide to have a secret holiday together abroad. He thinks his wife is holidaying somewhere else but she decides she will go with him. He finally manages to go alone but meets a colleague and his wife and children on the plane. This throws a spanner in the works and everything seems to be thrown into complete chaos. Suffice to say the whole movie is a series of fiascos with some very funny happenings but also some moments of sadness which ultimately reaches an ending that is inevitable. A wonderfully entertaining movie and doesn't really seem dated at all.
