The feature film starring
Richard Benjamin , Ali MacGraw
When Neil Klugman , a young librarian, meets Brenda Patimkin , a student at Radcliffe, they soon become lovers. Both are Jewish, but while Brenda's socially-conscious family live an affluent life in an elegant suburb, Neil is from the less wealthy side of town. Philip Roth 's satire on the social pressures and snobberies of middle-class America has been cleverly translated to the screen in this sharply observant movie.
Screenplay by ARNOLD SCHULMAN based on the novella by PHILIP ROTH Produced by STANLEY R. JAFFE Directed by LARRY PEERCE Films: page 18
