Lovers and Other Strangers

Lovers and Other Strangers (1970) starring Gig Young, Bea Arthur, Bonnie Bedelia, Anne Jackson, Harry Guardino, Anne Meara, Michael Brandon, Richard Castellano, Diane Keaton. The plot of this delightful comedy revolves around the impending marriage of Mike (Brandon) and Susan (Bedelia), and encompasses the relationships of several of their friends and relatives. Why should a marriage work, and what goes wrong when a marriage doesn't work? This is the theme of the  movie, and it is explored through the marriages and infidelities of the characters who revolve around Mike and Susan. Highlight of the film is Oscar-winning song, "For All We Know," which is sung during Mike and Susan's wedding. A very entertaining and funny movie. (English subtitles are available, as well as closed captions.) Grade: A-
