Alan Alda and Ellen Burstyn star as two people each married to other people who have an affair with each other on one weekend for 26 years. (Is there any other way to describe that ?) Both stars are very good, and have great chemistry, although Alda's constant whining can grate on some nerves. As their affair continues, the years pass, and other events in their lives affect each of them more and more, their own relationship exhibits its own changes. A very smart, sweet and touching film, adapted from Bernard Slade's play. Listen for the haunting piano theme that is performed through the film; it will definitely stick with you.
