    This film is one of the greatest I have ever seen. Adapted fairly well from the book,it is a commentary on the free love/sex era of the 70's. Diane Keaton is wonderful as the sexually conflicted main character,suffering the aftermath of a Catholic childhood and debilitating polio...( read more).She does find her freedom,but it is short lived and ultimately tragic.

    A magnificent cautionary tale about promiscuity and bar life. Diane Keaton is a goddess.

    diane keaton has never done it for me as a comedienne. but when she has the right project, she is a compelling actress. this performance is one of the best on film in america. period. she has yet to match it because everyone sees her as a dippy new yorker type.
