Another one of those "thinker" psychological films from the 1970s. Shirley MacLaine (Sophie) and Kenneth Mars (Otto...has a German name, but plays it without the Cherman accent in this one) are a married couple figuring things out as they go along. A whole lot of time spent on what happens when Sophie feeds a feral cat.... Keep an eye out for some familiar faces in the supporting cast; Gerald O'Laughlin (was the Lieutenant in "The Rookies" cop show) and Sada Thompson (the mom, on the series "Family"... with America's sweetheart Kristy McNichol), and Carol Kane (was "Simka" on Taxi). Shirley M has longer hair in this one, which is unusual, and done several different ways in different scenes. She usually has very short hair, and the fact that I am even mentioning this shows just how slowly the film moved. Best performances here are by Sada Thompson and Jack Somack, who play husband and wife, friends of Sophie. Thompson & Somack also worked together on "Pursuit of Happiness". They give Somack some silly lines to say, but he does a good job of delivering them. Thompson and Somack are a believable couple, although it almost turns into a Virginia Wolfe kind of marriage by the end of the scene. Glad I didn't pay $12.00 to see this film in the theater.... but was mildly interesting to watch. Mars doesn't have many lines in this one; plays a very bland character, which seems to be what the director wanted. Over the top scene at the emergency room... for such a tiny scratch.... some symbolism there ... she gets what she gets for feeding the feral cat. Rated R for some cussing here and there. Directed and produced by Frank Gilroy, looks like the first film he directed.
