Lovers and Other Strangers

Lovers and Other Strangers (1970)

Brief Nudity

Top Scene

Review

The traditional New York City, upper-middle-class wedding ceremony of thirty-five years ago, and all the hoopla leading up and attendant to it, is either the stuff of an excellent anthropological study or basis for an intelligent, heart-tugging comedy of emotional slapstick and physical nuance. Lovers and Other Strangers (1970) holds up as more than a relic of its time. Incisive and affectionate, the acerbic but forgiving screenplay offers fully formed and complexly motivated characters to an ensemble cast of future hall-of-fame supporting players that includes Gig Young, Jerry Stiller, Anne Meara, Bea Arthur, and Cloris Leachman, all performing back in a day when every one of them still harbored the potential and hope of blowing up as massive as Diane Keaton, for whom Lovers and Other Strangers provided a big-screen debut.
