Lovely and amusing

It's unfortunate this romantic comedy is so obscure.

It features sensitive performances by Dudley Moore and Elizabeth McGovern, backed by an excellent supporting cast. Fans of Marshall Brickman's work with Woody Allen will find much to love here. The writing and plotting is a bit belabored at times, and the simplistic psychoanalytic emphasis might put some viewers off, but I was mostly impressed.

7/10 stars from me.

I agree. When it came out in the theaters back in 1983, I found myself engaged in the characters in the story. It was beautifully written.

You were lucky to have seen this overlooked gem in the theater.
