Joan Micklin Silver 4/4
A stereotype of a romantic comedy with classic gender roles
An almost all white cast with discriminating undertones
Clumsy editing, but good secondary personages — in strong contrast with the insipid leads -, regular touches of humor and intelligent dialogue
Cast: Amy Irving, Peter Riegert, Reizl Bozyk, Jeroen Krabbé, Sylvia Miles
Directed by Joan Micklin Silver
Screenplay by Susan Sandler
Edited by Rick Shaine
Music by Paul Chihara
