Very satisfying movie that involves us completely in the conflicted relationship of the leads, played beautifully by McQueen and Wood (evidently Paul Newman was originally slated for the part). We find ourselves really rooting for them to get together. Sounds like a soap-opera "chick flick", but the story is sufficiently gritty and has enough comic touches to appeal to the guys, too. B&W works well to emphasize the New York atmosphere of the flick, with its many locale shots. The ethnic Italian ethos is well-captured, too. And to top it off is a wonderful score by Elmer Bernstein, whose music veers awfully close to sounding like that other Bernstein (and that's not a criticism!). I don't know why we don't see this one more often; thank you American Movie Classics.
This movie is heightened by the fact that Natalie Wood and Steve McQueen are the stars. They have enough acting talent and chemistry together to make it work. The subject matter probably made this controversial in the sixties but the movie doesn't seem old in a stupid way. The supporting cast is good too - Hershel Bernardi, especially, as Natalie's overly-possessive brother.
This has always been one of my absolute favorite movies! Steve McQueen and Natalie Wood were perfectly suited for each other. She played brave Angie Rossini wonderfully - trying so hard to break away from her protective Italian-American family, trying to be strong and capable in the face of such a difficult situation, trying not to show how scared she really is.
But Steve McQueen is the real sweet part of this couple. He is corrupt and funny and unsuspectedly tender and responsible and caring. It should be noted for the fact that it marked his departure from the anti-hero roles that he specialized in (and excelled in). This wasn't an action movie but it was one of Steve's absolute best performances. She was nominated for an Academy Award and deservedly so but he was overlooked and that is criminal!
Can you tell that I love this movie?? Well, I do!

This film has always struck me as Natalie Wood and Steve
McQueen's best work in movies. Both would go on to successes
and failures, but neither would seem as natural and as unaffected
on screen again.
The story of a good working-class Italian girl in New York who gets
pregnant by a man she hardly knows, is very strong stuff for 1963.
So is their decision to have an abortion. Roe vs. Wade was nearly
a decade in the future. Mulligan shows a very gritty, dirty, New York
which has emerged from the 50s as a crumbling relic of a city,
nowhere as clean and shiny as it is today. McQueen is a callow
young musician, not looking to settle down with anyone, let alone a
single pregnant girl, even if he is at fault.
The trip to a bad neighborhood to get the abortion is chilling, and
Wood's absolute terror is genuine here. McQueen being
reluctantly honorable is very sexy here. The rest of the film with her
facing down her overly protective Neanderthal brothers and getting
her own apartment, follows the young lovers as they try to do the
right thing. Steve's poster--"Better wed than Dead," is a sweet
coda.
I loved this movie. It struck this teenager at the time, as a very
sophisticated film. Natalie Wood is incandescently beautiful in
black and white and still the loner, McQueen's intensity is a bit
more subtle than usual. Good supporting cast. This was an era
where the final black and white movies were being made--TO KILL
A MOCKING BIRD, BIRD MAN OF ALCATRAZ, THE AMERICANIZATION OF EMILY, PSYCHO were the last gasp of this
medium.
Long overdue for DVD release.

I awoke at 3:00 am last night to Love With The Proper Stranger. I hadn't seen it in probably 35 years. I adored it. When I first saw it in 1963 I was 16 and it made a terrific impression about abortion which were in the back alley stage. Today, I look at it, thankful that women don't have to do than anymore. But, mostly I think of how wonderful Natalie Wood and Steve McQueen were together.
What struck me was how "modern" it looked. I think that was partly because it was filmed in black and white. I know that might sound strange. I think part of it had to do with their clothing. Natalie looked stunning in Edith Head's costumes (wish I had that black dress with the pearls today) and Steve looked very normal in his trench coat. Backdrops of New York City looked present-day.
I must have seen it many times in the 60's since I knew lines that were coming, early this morning, before they were said by either of these great actors.
The development of this movie from a drama, into a romantic comedy was done brilliantly and very naturally. I loved the way Natalie used her eyes to speak and how Steve did the same.
My only regret is that neither of them are with us today.
I will have to see if this has come out on DVD. I'd love to have it.
My other favorite movies of hers were Splendor in the Grass (I went out and purchased Wordsworth's poetry immediately after seeing it) and Inside Daisy Clover.

- WissenswertesNatalie Wood said that working on this film was "the most rewarding experience I had in all films, all the way around."
- PatzerWhen Rocky is lying down on Barbie's bed after she has left to sit at the kitchen table, only the second and third buttons on Rocky's shirt are done up, his shirt not tucked into his pants. In the next shot when he is about to get up, the second, third and fourth buttons on the shirt are done up, the shirt still not tucked into his pants. In the next shot as Rocky is now off the bed, all but the top button on his shirt are done up, the front of his shirt now tucked into his pants.
- Zitate
Barbie: You know me in the cold weather - how I love to be in love. We are in love, aren't we? Really in love.
Rocky Papasano: Yeah - you with yourself, and me with myself.
- Crazy CreditsAs if to recognize the importance of the script, Arnold Schulman's credit appears right after the main title. This was a rarity in an era when screenplay credits traditionally appeared third to last, before the producer and director cards.
