Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDiane Keaton had just broken up with Warren Beatty, her co-star in Reds (1981). As such, she was able to draw on that experience for this role, and even gave notes to writer Bo Goldman and director Sir Alan Parker. They weren't initially thrilled by this, but later conceded that the character was enriched by Keaton's participation in ways that they had never thought of.
- GoofsThe selective rain that seems to hit only the actors is not falling on the background, which remains dry.
- Quotes

Faith Dunlap: Me either.
George Dunlap: You're kind to strangers.
Faith Dunlap: Yeah. Strangers are easy.

Featured review
Why this movie is not on DVD is a mystery. It blows away Kramer Vs. Kramer, which came out a few years before, and is on par with Ordinary People. Anyone who's witnessed a family tearing itself apart because of infidelity, among other issues, will find this movie occasionally unbearable to watch. The ending is a bit too much--for the few who've seen it, the tennis court scene. And a few other scenes are just too over the top. But the acting is so natural (I believe it's the best acting Albert Finney and Diane Keaton have ever done) and their emotions so raw and powerful, that I cry every time I see it. Note to whichever company owns the early '80s MGM catalog--GET THIS ON DVD!
