Gritty sentiment, honest portrayals

Two troubled souls find each other--though time may be running out. A marvelous ABC-TV movie that gave Jill Clayburgh an early triumph (just before "An Unmarried Woman" put her on the Hollywood A-list). The finale, with Peter Falk lashing out on the street, is stunning and staggering in its emotion. It may very well put some viewers off, but I completely understood Falk's character and felt thoroughly his pain and suffering. I've never forgotten that sequence, it is that powerful. Most of the picture is underlined with the usual TV-styled sentiment, however the sincerity of the handling is honestly expressed (thanks to the lead performances and a firm direction). The production is gritty and not glossy (a big plus), and the finale as noted is not romanticized. Worth seeking out.

Total immersion!!!

Man! How to get lost in a movie!!!

I saw this on its original broadcast, and its impact remains with me today, over 20 years later.

Two human beings, each painfully aware that the end is near, find one another. The ending has stayed with me as the perfect finale to a film, better than most big budget theater films!!!

One does not think of Falk as a romantic lead, and this film indicates that we, as an audience, have lost much as a result...

A singularly well-titled story of deathless love

When I first saw this film on TV I was going through a bad time because of an expanding personal catastrophe. Although in no way really similar to the situation in "Griffin and Phoenix," my own problems -- and my somewhat romantic nature -- made me sympathetic to the situation realistically and lovingly created by Peter Falk and Jill Clayburgh.

It has become one of my favorite films of the kind. If it is in some respects not always happy, it is thus more true to life. Love is in some aspect always tragic, even when it ends happily in marriage; but love, if it is truly that, is unending and undying. I feel this motion picture should share that fate.

Incredible picture.

This movie does not strike a single false note. Every touch is right on target. Unfortunately it's almost never shown, so do not miss a chance to see it. Except for the fashions and locations, Griffin and Phoenix has not aged a day. Very beautiful, moving and funny.

A touching, realistic, funny, gritty film...

... that is a love story with a very grown-up attitude toward death. Falk and Clayburg are excellent together. A TV movie classic that has been repeated a number of times--but, alas, not lately (to my limited knowledge)

Both are dying, but neither knows the other is, and some dramatic misunderstandings are the result. I won't say any more--except to note that the ending is a classic.

Versiones alternativas
Although this film was made for television, it was so acclaimed that it was subsequently released to theaters. The theatrical release includes a title card explaining the reasons for its re-release, and also features an additional love scene between Jill Clayburgh and 'Peter Falk' in which Clayburgh briefly appears nude. (The nude scene, naturally, was absent from the original TV broadcast.)
