The Four Seasons
1981, 103 minutes, Rated M
"Here's to our friends...and the strength to put up with them."
A witty, sophisticated comedy in the tradition of The Big Chill, first time writer/director Alan Alda (M*A*S*H, The Aviator) also stars as Jack, the moral conscience in a group of wealthy middle-aged couples who gather four times a year for a group vacation.
Jack and Kate (Carol Burnett) are the glue of the group; Danny (Jack Weston) is a neurotic, paranoid dentist with a hotblooded wife Claudia (Rita Moreno); meanwhile, Nick (Len Cariou) and Anne (Sandy Dennis) celebrate their 21st wedding anniversary before he dumps her for a much younger woman, Bess (Ginny Armstrong).
Exposing the fears and anxieties in the ageing group, this newcomer battles for acceptance before the ensemble accept the inevitability of change, and rediscover the youth and adventure that brought them together.
