Oliver's Blind Date...

I am thinking that since he was happy with her...he felt guilty.

I thought that was strange also. Especially since when he left he lingered outside her door for so long. But the whole movie was bad, so this is just one more thing that makes no sense.

Edited to add:

What about Oliver's infantile temper tantrums where he just starts yelling @Marcy? This movie was just so bad!

Can anyone tell me what the furniture designer used to stuff her "air chair"? No matter how loud I turn up the volume, I cannot grasp what she is saying but, to me, it looks for a moment to make Oliver uncomfortable. Any help would be appreciated. While not as good a film as Love Story, which can still make me cry, I was glad to see Oliver moving on, at least a little. I think it was necessary that the new love interest be different from Jenny (or should that end in "ie"? - sorry is misspelled), who was so down to earth that she was totally different from the life Oliver had known. However, despite her being more of the same social status as Oliver, Marcie may have reminded him too much of what he loved about Jenny and why he turned his back on his family originally. I just want to know what was in the "air chair". Thanks to anyone who can help my aging ears.

Since the actress who played that part (Nicola Pagett) had third billing, I kept waiting for the character to come back. I fully expected Oliver to get back with her at the end of the movie, but the film just dribbled away and was over. I suspect a lot of editing was done--the movie had that patched together look of reshoots and recutting--to try to save the picture when the studio saw how lifeless it was. The movie kept my attention because I enjoyed seeing NYC in the late seventies and it was fun seeing some familiar actors in their early days, especially a young, red-frizzy-haired and pre-Botox Swoosie Kurtz.
