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: - Robert Preston and Mary Tyler Moore Just keep getting better
This really is not a comedy however there are some very amusing scenes. However I like the ratiocination scenes best.

And many other people issues.
In the process of this movie you can see how much better the actors have improved over the years and play fuller characters than in most of their previous movies. This ... Read More
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 ... Read More
