Synopsis: Glenda Jackson
shows her flair for romantic comedy in this classy effort from writer/director
Melvin Frank. As divorced fashion designer Vicki Allessio, she's more than a
match for married American businessman George Segal, subjecting him to a series
of well-timed barbs during a disastrous holiday in Spain. Frank and his co-writer Jack Rose hone the script to a cutting edge to ensure that sentimentality doesn't oversweeten the romance, and succeed in keeping the piece ironically humorous rather than schmaltzily corny, which it so easily could have become. Jackson, who'd already won an Oscar for Women in Love, picked up her second one here, though Segal's harassed stud probably deserved something too for his polished performance. Cast: George Segal, Glenda Jackson. Runtime: 106 min *Note: USA and Canadian customers should check their dvd players for PAL format compatibility. |
