A witty study of modern love, marriage and adultery, starring Meryl Streep
Jack Nicholson
Writers Rachel and Mark have each been on the marriage-go-round before, but decide to tie the knot soon after meeting. However, their wedded bliss palls when Rachel becomes aware of gossip that her husband is being unfaithful.
Streep and Nicholson make a sparky team in this perceptive comedy-drama, adapted from the bestselling (autobiographical) book by Nora Ephron, who also scripted When Harry MetSally. Watch out for director Milos Forman (One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest, Amadeus) in a minor supporting role.
