Tragi-comic drama from the director of The Graduate, and Working Girl, starring Jack Nicholson, Art Garfunkel, Ann-Margret and Candice Bergen. Mid-1940s America: two college students, sexually aware Jonathan and still innocent Sandy, both fall for the same woman, a passion that will shape their lives and loves for over 30 years.
This early 1970s drama featured one of the roles which brought Jack Nicholson to international attention and was a precursor to the emerging debate into the price the sexual revolution had on personal relationships. The Graduate's Mike (Nichols directs a tale of two old college chums traversing life with some incisive flair and Ann-Margret is especially fine as a vulnerable partner eager to salvage honesty from the emotional debris. If Nicholson is a touch too vulpine and slavering (at times he teeters on the edge of caricature), the film admirably retains its edge and pace.
