Old Favorite, 8 July 2001
Author: fmfats from Snellville

Loved it as Head Over Heels, liked it even more with the ending changed to conform to Beattie's novel. It's a thoughtful and quirky picture; Gloria Grahame's performance is worth the rental. Silver's ensemble comedy Between the Lines is well worth looking for also.
