An affair between a married American insurance executive and a British divorcee does not run entirely smoothly. His back problems rather cramp his style, yet they continue with the relationship and rent a flat for their liaisons. However, he finds that combining parenthood, marriage and career with an affair can take its toll.

Penelope Gilliatt The New Yorker Mar 4, 2024
Apart from a touch of nitwittery, it is often spry. Go to Full Review
Joy Gould Boyum Wall Street Journal Aug 10, 2022
While it’s a bit too predictable, a bit too obvious in its sentiments to pull on the heartstrings of us all, most of the time it does manage to be funny enough to take in almost anyone. Go to Full Review
Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times Oct 23, 2004
3/4
A Touch of Class is a sharp-edged, often very funny dissection of a love affair between two possibly incompatible people. But then it gets serious with itself and ends on a note that doesn't satisfy us. Go to Full Review
Dick Lochte Los Angeles Free Press Dec 31, 2019
It's the most relentlessly new-fashioned old-fashioned movie in town. Go to Full Review
Christopher Hudson The Spectator Sep 27, 2015
[Glenda Jackson] is a rivetingly good actress, able to turn the shallowly-defined character of Melvin Frank's screenplay into a woman of some depth and complexity. Go to Full Review

B
One of the few comedies to be Oscar-nominated in the 1970s, this British film about adulterous affair benefits from the strong chemistry between George Segal and Glenda Jackson, who won a second Best Actress for her part. Go to Full Review

George G Jul 27, 2018 Everything is well-done. It's just predictable. And the last third comes across nearly aimless, despite its intact ending. See more
