Review of A Touch of Class (1973) by I Don't Know W — 06 Dec 2010
"They had the perfect love affair. Until they fell in love.".
Very Neil Siomonesque, one of the better remembered films of George Segal (Just Shoot Me, Matthew Broderick's father in Cable Guy). Glenda Jackson (who won her 2nd Best Actress Oscar for the role) and Segal have a good chemistry together, and Paul Sorvino is terrific as the friend that tries to help and mostly messes everything up....
