Amazon.com video 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
