Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - This is a very funny movie
This is a very funny movie. I wish that it were available in DVD format.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Where's the DVD?
This movie is always a surprise--imagine a comedy by Tennessee Williams!! But it is a delightful romp with newlyweds and seasoned couple relating (and not). It is well-written, well-acted and such fun. If you love old Jane Fonda movies and the acting talents of Jim Hutton, Tony Franciosa and Lois Nettleton, this is the one. Just one question, where's the DVD?



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Very good, except towards the end
Very enjoyable a fair amount of the way - Anthony Franciosa is especially good. It becomes too "cartoonish" for me, towards the end - with some awful dialog that makes your toes curl, and you pity the actors having do deliver some of the lines.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - The Overlooked Tennessee Williams Stab at Light Comedy
There are some people who start running for the doors after hearing a few Tennessee Williams' zingers (e.g., "there's only one angel in Glorious Hill. Her body is stone and her blood is mineral water" ["Summer & Smoke"], or "the violets in the mountains have broken the rocks!" ["Camino Real"]). They, probably, won't be able to take this movie. Yet it's really some twisted Christmas fun. For even though "Period of Adjustment" was produced during the Camelot years, as mentioned above (or elsewhere on this message board), the real pressure of an ending relationship between Tenn Williams and Frank Merlo exerts a negative, darker side to this light piece.

I like to think of this play as anticipating some of the fine, light Neil Simon work coming out a few years later. Tenn ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - good play makes very good movie
I saw this film about 25 years ago and remembered it as being special. Having just seen it again, I can say it has aged well and is one of those low-key movies that does not seem to get the attention it deserves. Adapted from a play, it is stagey and very verbal, of course, but Tennessee Williams deals with many still relevant aspects of relationships in a very entertaining way. Had male and female insecurities been portrayed in such a way before? It is a funny, as well as moving, film with all four main characters showing, at times, fighting spirit and vulnerability. It's not surprising that the director went on to make some classics
