Rating: - Wow!!!!
I bought this a couple of years ago but never had the chance to watch it. I am glad I did.
I believe the characters, I believe the story. Then again, when it is two superb craftsmen as Mary Tyler Moore and Robert Preston, it is quite easy. Incredible nuance in both of their performances, never a false note.
And Sam Waterston is a hoot!!! My wife and I are Law & Order addicts and to see him in this role was hysterical.
Rating: - I wish Hollywood still made movies like this!
This movie was released in 1985 direct to cable TV on HBO.
Romantic-Drama. It's really not a comedy. There are some humorous moments, just as in real life, but the overall tone of the movie is serious.
This movie does not have an MPAA rating. I would rate it as PG-13 because of mild violence, adult content and adult dialog.

Rating: - Duped Again!
When I finally got the time to view this video, one of my all-time favorite movies, I discovered that it cut off near the end and begins again with the credits. What a disappointment! It was my understanding that I had ordered and paid for a new video -- apparently I've been duped again!
Rating: - Shallow Love; Deep Love
What a nice story! Truly one of those that you'll watch more than once. The evolution by Mary Tyler Moore's character with a rather "make-do" romance with Sam Waterston's character, a scheduled "weekly appointment", bland romance affair, to liking and truly gently loving an older, warmer, tender, and dry sense of humor Robert Preston character, is so delightful!! There are many funny scenes such as Mary and Sam in that muddy grave, and Robert Preston announcing in an awkward moment that "I did your ironing". So Finnigan learns to write his advice column with new vigor and finds true love too. ... Read More
Rating: - Great movie...
I saw this movie when it first came out and ran on cable TV. I went out of my way staying up late to see it as many times as it ran. Robert Preston and Mary Tyler Moore are both wonderful in their roles. Though I love the Music Man, I have to say this is my favorite Preston role. I loved this movie when I was 22 and love it more at 38. It means even more now that I'm married and have children. "Love isn't what you feel, it is what you do for each other." (*Maybe you won't believe it before you're married, married for 15 years and you'll know it!*)
"I did your ironing."
"I love you for doing ... Read More
