British director Richard Lester united the stellar Julie Christie and George C. Scott for this experimental film set right before 60's cultural movement was about to change the world (look for Janis Joplin and the Grateful Dead). The story about a married socialite who falls in love with a divorced doctor told in non-linear structure with flashbacks and flash forwards was ground breaking for a mainstream film with major stars that makes the film a classic besides a perfect time capsule of a bygone era with its icons and signature style. The strong supporting cast includes Richard Chamberlain, Shirley Knight and Joseph Cotten. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
