All Night Long

All Night Long (1981) starring Gene Hackman, Barbra Streisand, Diane Ladd, Dennis Quaid. Hackman stars as George Dupler, a mid-level executive at a drug-store company who begins the movie by throwing a chair out through a window and punching his boss. In the process of restructuring his life, he meets and falls for a woman (Streisand) who is gradually won over to his crazy new way of life. Dupler's son (Quaid) is already having an affair with the woman, which makes things kind of awkward between them. This is an oddball little movie which offers its own rewards and has an upbeat ending. (Subtitles for the hearing-impaired are available.) Grade: B
