The opening shot where Candice Bergen walks into the light is so gorgeous that I was immediately drawn in. Jules Feiffer’s writing is so fast and is so expertly composed, especially in regards to dialogue. This film has a lot of those great Mike Nichols types moments where it feels like your watching a play on stage (similar to moments in WHO’S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF). This is especially the case during the second chapter of the film when Nicholas and Ann Margaret are acting up a storm. Ann Margaret is so great in this and she really deserved all the love she got from this film. I also think Candice Bergen did a great job as well. Art Garfunkel is way better than he has any right to be. I wish he had done more acting jobs.
