Product Description Touch of Class, A (DVD)This Oscar®- and Golden Globe Award-winning film stars Academy Award® winner Glenda Jackson and Academy Award® nominee George Segal. Living in London, happily married American Steve meets Vicki, an English divorcée, and they run off to Marbella for a rollicking week of sex. After returning to London they continue their torrid affair despite the fact that Steve loves his wife and children. Before long, Steve realizes that he and Vicki have fallen in love.]]> desertcart.com It's tame in hindsight, but A Touch of Class brought much-needed prestige to the romantic-comedy trend of the early and mid 1970s. Glenda Jackson won an Oscar® for her performance as a savvy London divorcée who falls in love with married insurance agent George Segal, and the film surprised critics by earning a Best Picture nomination as well. Chemistry's the key, with Jackson and Segal equally adept at bickering and making up (and she even has a gay male friend, long before that became a genre cliché). What begins as a routine affair--complicated by a wide spectrum of lightly comedic pitfalls--ends with mutual love and the dilemma it creates. Writer-director Melvin Frank keeps the dialogue briskly intelligent, and while he can't match Neil Simon word for word, Touch mines the same romantic territory that was perfected in Simon's later hit The Goodbye Girl. Consider them a fine double bill, with A Touch of Class ranking a respectable second. --Jeff Shannon Review: Should've Been on the AFI's list of "Top 100 Romantic Films" - I saw this movie when it first came out in the 70's and have seen it many times on and off for years. The movie is funny, but what makes it work is the two stars. George Segal (who never looked better) is in fine comedic form, and he and Glenda Jackson complement each other perfectly. She was especially singled out for critical acclaim -- some people compared her to Katharine Hepburn in Hepburn's comedic roles. The movie also affords a look at London in the early 70's. Because the actors work so well together, I would've liked a different (happier) ending for the movie. Still, after thirty years, "A Touch of Class" remains very watchable and poignant -- largely because of the two stars. Review: Great Rom/Com - I love this movie! I saw it years ago and had to have it. Funny, touching, believable characters.

The Way Films Used To Be
This film has so much warmth and humor that I could (and have) seen it many times. Glenda Jackson won the best actress award for her ability to be both dramatic and hilarious. Boy, those two ( George Segal as her co) just ooze with charisma and charm. While there is a touching message at the conclusion, getting there was so much fun. From the gorgeous scenes of London to spectacular, to sunny Spain, this film is true entertainment. I wish there were more adult films like this being made today.

A small screen gem
I was looking forward to seeing this film again, not having seen it since its original theatrical release. The content of the film did not disappoint, although it was clear this time around how many of the set pieces that were original in the film have been used again and again in films and tv sitcoms since. One serious negative is that this DVD is captured in 4:3 then widescreen. Hence it occupied an extremely small part of my 50" screen. Surely such a great Oscar winner needs a blu ray makeover. Common Criterion!

A Film with a Real Touch of Class Itself
You want to go back to the time when romantic comedies really were romantic? This is a fond memory of mine from my college days and it holds up well all these years later. Glenda Jackson shines in her second Oscar winning performance and George Segal makes up the handsome other half of two people who have an affair and happen to fall in love against all expectations. They don’t make ‘em any better than this. Pop come corn, get your Raisinettes and get ready to enjoy movie night at home.

A TOUCH OF CLASS
This film was so popular in my 20 s and I have not seen it since then but now in my 50s although very funny at the beginning it was so disapointing at the end ,although I did remember how the movie ended it was not that romantic film my mind had clung to . This film is watchable, and will make you smile to begin with but it does fade quickly . The scenery of London was how it was then, and the quaint little shops that we all know and love London to have, were just so London and you will love this part. Anyone who purchases this film ,and watching it for the first time will probably love it, but for those of us walking down memory lane my suggestion is ,just keep your memories ,that way you will not be let down .

One of my all time favorites!
Love this movie and it's never become dated. George Segal and Glenda Jackson are perfectly cast, and the comedy is timeless. A married man who never cheats on his wife "in the same town" meets an attractive woman who is also interested in no strings sex for a week in Malaga. What happens to them just trying to get to Malaga is hysterical, and him trying to make airline reservations is the funniest scene ever. Buy this movie! It's one of those you can watch over and over again!

A must have sophisticated comedy
A first rate comedy, with just a tough of pathos, and a British rather than American ending. George Segal gives a masterful performance, again working with one of the five best modern actresses (Glenda Jackson here and Jane Fonda in "Fun With Dick & Jane"). Jackson is in turns acerbic, sympathetic, and loving, a restrained, sophisticated performance, proving that great dramatic actresses can do good comedy. The story is well written and directed, as Segal's one night stand evolves into a relationship. Paul Sorvino gives a solid supporting performance. This is a movie for your permanent collection.

Delivery was rather slow. The movie is great. The DVD played perfectly. There is no subtitle facility on this version.

Habe diesen Film leider nicht sehen können. Der erste Einkauf bei Amazon, der völlig missglückt ist. Der Film darf ja nur in den USA und Kanada verkauft werden. Meine beiden DVD-Player lehnen das Lesen dieses Film wegen falschen Ländercodes ab.
