Love and Pain and the Whole Damn Thing

"Love and Pain and the Whole Damn Thing," directed by Alan J. Pakula and written by Alvin Sargent, is most of the time such a funny and eccentric romantic comedy that you have to excuse the attack of Anglo-Saxon ethic that finally overwhelms it. Despite almost everything written by Colette, despite the experience of even Benjamin Franklin, popular American and English fiction writers persist in spreading the gloomy word that the conjoining of an older woman and a younger man is a near-mortal sin, usually punishable by death. It may not be so in life (Mary Pickford and Buddy Rogers made a go of it), but the audiences for which Hollywood thinks it is making its films (if not the film makers themselves) are afraid to believe otherwise.
