- DirectorNoah BaumbachStarsAdam DriverScarlett JohanssonJulia GreerNoah Baumbach's incisive and compassionate look at a marriage breaking up and a family staying together.Acting excellent. Totally compelling performances. Believable story. But it glosses over cognitive dissonance and selfish behavior in female protagonist. The film exposes the 100% American haute bourgeois value system of its creator.

- DirectorOtto PremingerStarsJoan CrawfordDana AndrewsHenry FondaA commercial artist having an affair with a married attorney becomes involved with a returning soldier and must choose between the two.Very boring melodrama. Good performances, of course by Crawford, Andrews, and Fonda. Felt like a television serial's plot and pace.

- DirectorAlan BridgesStarsRichard BurtonSophia LorenJack HedleyTwo strangers, both married to others, meet in a railroad station and find themselves in a brief but intense affair.Only worth watching for anthropological reasons or for Loren's wardrobe and hair.
