Editorial Review:

Bernard Slade's smart, funny, and touching play about an adulterous couple who meet one weekend a year for 26 years is nicely adapted for the screen by Robert Mulligan (To Kill a Mockingbird) in this 1978 film. The two-person story stars Alan Alda and Ellen Burstyn, both of whom are outstanding at conveying a rainbow of emotions over a quarter-century as life gives and takes away, and the world convulses with change. Mulligan brings taste and honesty to the film, and Alda and Burstyn give full, living performances. --Tom Keogh

5 out of 5 stars Passionate ..and funny.......2007-05-26

Loved the historic timeline as backdrop to this movie.Alan Alda was perfect for this role! Wish it could be updated to the present time. The title song always gives me tingles....

5 out of 5 stars LIKE A GOOD WINE - BETTER WITH AGE.......2007-05-14

My wife and I celebrate our 30th anniversary of marriage this year and remember this movie fondly from almost 30 years ago. We both agreed that every aspect of the movie seemed better than when we viewed it last. The story was easier to follow, the humour seemed more ironic and the music exceeded my expectations in it's placement within the movie. I was left wanting more.

5 out of 5 stars A classic romance.......2007-05-13

Witty, philosophical, and an unlikely affair that happens once a year ... over decades. Delightful and sometimes a little painful. Ultimately, a classic romance (so now you know the ending).

4 out of 5 stars Heritage House, Mendocino.......2007-05-07

I bought this video to view before we visited the inn where it all happens: Heritage House in Mendocino, CA. As we drove up the coast, we talked about the movie, the moral issues, the actors, and it gave us so much to talk about, we almost missed the view of the Pacific! Just a little dated, but Alan Alda is so magnificent in this that you can put
aside your critic's pen and just enjoy. His performance should have brought him an Oscar.

5 out of 5 stars terrific romantic comedy.............2007-05-06

Doris (Ellen Burstyn) is a young housewife who has a chance encounter with George Peters (Alan Alda), at a country bed and breakfast. Though married to others, the two have an instant connection and mutual attraction. Though, both of them are devoted to their spouses and children, they agree to meet at the same time and place, year in and year out. As their 26 year love affair progresses, their conversations reflect the evolution of United States politics and social issues.

This film is funny, insightful and witty. Alan Alda and Ellen Burstyn have wonderful screen chemistry. They are very believable and are a joy to watch, as they celebrate one another's joyous ups and comfort each other at their darkest hours in life. Really great!
