Not up to the quality of VIRGINIA WOOLF, THE GRADUATE, or CATCH-22, this film nevertheless scores some points (great casting), but it's ultimately somewhat depressing and it shouldn't be. Ann-Margret is splendid and deserved her Oscar nod. A beautiful and talented actress who was always under-valued in Hollywood. Candice Bergen gives her first believable performance. Art Garfunkel seems perfect for his character, Sandy, but still needs more acting experience. Jack Nicholson seems ideal for Jonathan, but it's not one of his better performances.
A 6 out of 10. Best performance = Ann-Margret. It's too bad Nichols' choices of projects went South after THE FORTUNE. He was one of the great ones, but WORKING GIRL, DAY OF THE DOLPHIN, and the rest of the junk he's done since '75 has shown he needs some career advice.
