Director: Robert Ellis Miller
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Not written by Neil Simon, though you might be forgiven for so guessing, this is a comedy with heart. Sandy Dennis, positively twitching with charm, plays a kooky girl - beloved by everybody in a neighbourhood seemingly peopled exclusively by oddballs - who shares her apartment with a new man every month (she favours the insecure, sending them on their way with new confidence). After she and November's patient (Newley) fall madly in love, it transpires that she is suffering, Marguerite Gautier style, from an incurable disease. It all ends in a flood of insufferably gooey tears.Author: TM
