I enjoy films that show old people still having a life of fun, laughter and romance, and this one does just that.
Shirley Maclaine and Christopher Plummer are great in this and make a believable couple as the depressed and grumpy Fred and his kooky, fun-loving neighbour Elsa. They are ably supported by a great cast, including the brilliant George Segal. Oh and wow, James Brolin looks really handsome in a small role here, I think he'd have been about 74 when he made this!
The music is lovely, and Elsa's obsession with the movie La Dolce Vita provides a wonderful, poignant scene towards the end.
A film to make you smile and feel that, even if you are old, you can still live a good life if you're lucky enough to have someone special.
