    • Trivia
      Ellen Burstyn won the Best Actress Academy Award for Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore (1974) while performing in the "Same Time, Next Year" play on Broadway. In the same year, she won the Tony Award for Best Actress for the play. Ironically, Burstyn received both awards at the same time in the same week. Burstyn is one of only two actresses to win both awards in the same year. The other actress was Audrey Hepburn who won a best Actress Tony for "Ondine" in the same year she won an Oscar for Roman Holiday (1953).

      The intervals are mostly 5 years, except after 1966 it skips to 1972, as this marks their 21st anniversary. However in the 1977 meeting, George brags that he saved the marriage between Doris and Harry "6 years ago", that is,1971, not 1972 which was the actual meeting in which George pretended to be a counseling priest.
    • Quotes

      George: When I touched you just now, I started to get excited. What kind of a pervert am I? Staring at a 200 pound pregnant woman, and I'm getting hot!

      Doris: Well, I'll tell you something. That is about the nicest thing that anybody's said to me in months.

    Touching romantic comedy
    What a beautiful film this is. Alan Alda and Ellen Burstyn are simply marvelous together. This is not just a romantic comedy, it's a tale about finding one's soul-mate and how we sometimes do the wrong thing in life but if we're lucky, we have a chance to redeem ourselves. Ellen Burstyn turns in a subtle, nuanced performance.She can act more with her eyes than most can with their entire bodies.What can we say about Alan Alda? He plays a very funny neurotic character who we get to like instantly. A really lovable guy. If you've ever wanted to see what chemistry between two movie characters is all about, see this film. A definite must-see.
