A married architect's passionate affair with a beautiful housewife eventually comes down to a choice between loyalty and love. Stars Kirk Douglas and Kim Novak; co-starring Ernie Kovacs, Barbara Rush and Walter Matthau.

Kirk Douglas and Kim Novak star in this melodrama of romance and infidelity. Larry Coe and Maggie Gault don't receive any attention from their respective spouses. Larry's wife is too concerned with trivial family matters, and Maggie's marriage simply lacks passion. So these two disenchanted suburbanites find romance in each other. Then one lascivious, nosy neighbor -- having spied on the lovebirds -- decides to join in the fun, and makes a move on Larry's wife. The unsettling news makes the lovers reassess their affair.

A gifted architect, unhappily married, falls in love with his neighbor, whose marriage is also on the rocks. When he is offered a great career opportunity in Hawaii, he is suddenly torn between his home, his career and his love.

Produced in association with Quine Productions.

4 stars tortured affair
Great cast and a gripping story of two people caught in a love affair and struggling to choose the future for their relationship. The presence of Ernie Kovacs and Walter Matthau make this movie enduring for me. I first saw this movie when it was released and have caught it on tv over the years in the wee hours of the morning. It has been quite sometime since it has been on tv and I am captivated by it once again.

5 stars Love's Labors Lost
We can all identify with the plight of Larry Coe and Maggie Gault; of loving a stranger who becomes closer than one's mate; of losing that love when reality sets in. It makes one reflect on what constitues love between two people and how binding and moving it can be for us all. The lush George Duning score absolutely sets the mood of the movie and makes it a heart-rending experience. I'd give anything to see the scenes that made the cutting room floor!

5 stars One of the best movies...
They just don't write 'em like this anymore. Dialogue, cinematography, Kirk, Ernie, the '60s stylization are all top notch!

Strangers When We Meet review
DVD $16.89  2 stars
The title refers to the night when three men, Randy (Matt Dillon), his cousin Carl (Paul Reiser) and Detective Dehling (John Goodman), all meet Jewel Valentine (Liv Tyler) at a bar called McCool's. Actually, they don't so much meet her as fall under her spell when they first lay eyes on her. In her clinging red dress she looks like a cross between a beautiful damsel in distress and the Lady In Red looking for John Dillinger. The story begins with Randy, desperate to be rid of Jewel, hiring a sleazy hitman, played by Michael Douglas in an outré toupee. His story of how Jewel led him to ruin, filmed in a stylized flashback bathed in blue, is mirrored by Carl talking to his therapist--played with a delicious verve by Reba McEntire, ...

Blake Edwards's return to the male-in-meltdown territory he explored in 10 and THAT'S LIFE stars John Ritter as unemployed writer Zach, who is not only suffering from writer's block, but his drinking is out of control, as is his obsessive womanizing, and, not surprisingly, his wife wants to end their marriage. To add to his problems, his house has just burned down, and his agent is knocking at death's door. But since this is a Blake Edwards comedy, Zach has enough charm and relative affluence to continue his pursuits, which the director regards with a bemused deatchment. One of his girlfriends sets his piano on fire, and another gets him to wear a ...
