A Perfect Couple
1979. USA. Directed by Robert Altman. Screenplay by Altman, Alan F. Nicholls. With Paul Dooley, Marta Heflin, Tito Vandis. In the year that Blake Edwards’s bawdy sex comedy 10 stole the box office, Altman’s surprisingly good-natured riff on romantic comedy was largely neglected. A dating-weary middle-aged businessman from a staunchly Greek family takes up with a younger Bohemian musician in a traveling rock band, eventually choosing a life of uncertainty over loneliness. 110 min.
