1973 is fifty years ago and I wondered as I watched it if time had been kind to it. Glenda Jackson has scenes of sardonic humour and George Segal used a lot of humour as well, but that said I thought the script was thin on content and that the relationship between them as characters was not very probable. Jackson portrays a woman separated from her husband, and Segal plays a semi-devoted husband to his wife played extremely well by Hildegarde Neil. I only wished she had had more scenes as after a while I found the subject matter needed another strong role. No spoiler as to the end but it seemed to me pretty obvious from the start. A good film to watch if you like the two lead actors, and in their way they do not disappoint. The film has in my opinion a very bland musical soundtrack and I did not find the direction up to the standard of the actors.
