Product Description |
|
Mike is a 65 year old newspaper man who's been demoted to the lonely hearts desk. The job's a bore, he's a grouch, and his 75 year old wife, who's sometimes lucid and sometimes not, is no consolation. Liz is a school teacher in her early 40s caught up in a dead-end love affair with a married mortician. Despite her pleasant demeanor, Liz despairs of ever finding anything more in her life than the illicit afternoons she spends in a fleabag hotel with her guilty lover. Mike and Liz are mismatched, mixed up, and maybe, just perfect for each other. This heart-warming comedy will be enjoyed by all. |

Very rare jewel |
|
Never released on DVD, this is a great, heartwarming date movie. Robert Preston and Mary Tyler Moore are superb. This is one of those long forgotten gems that is worth watching, even if it's on an ancient VHS tape! |

Tender and hilarious romance. |
|
Robert Preston and Mary Tyler Moore are at their witty best in this sleeper of a romantic comedy. Robert Preston is Finnegan, a recently retired reporter married to a woman who seems totally detached from the world (the reason is slowly revealed in the movie) and Mary Tyler Moore is a widowed school-teacher having an affair with a married man. They meet under common, everyday circumstances and the two strike up a quirky, confrontational and fun friendship. It's a warm, endearing story that will stay with you a long time. |

This is a very under-apriciated movie. I don't understand why it isn't on DVD. Mary Tyler Moore is a lady settling for an affair with an undertaker who is self centered and undeserving. Robert Preston is a man who was married to an older woman whom he seemed to have adored. There was a tragedy and they coped in their separate ways, staying together,she stays in her own world and refuses to let him in. You see what they had, what they have, and for a small bit of time what could have been. In helping Robert Preston, Mary Tyler Moore sees the person she cares for in a new way. I have not laughed so hard in a long time, I also wanted to cry and to cheer. |

Wow!!!! |
I bought this a couple of years ago but never had the chance to watch it. I am glad I did.
I believe the characters, I believe the story. Then again, when it is two superb craftsmen as Mary Tyler Moore and Robert Preston, it is quite easy. Incredible nuance in both of their performances, never a false note.
And Sam Waterston is a hoot!!! My wife and I are Law & Order addicts and to see him in this role was hysterical.
