The Second Time Around

Pure delight, with a wonderful cast. Very believable acting. Treat yourself to pure delight Dranco

It was ok at the beginning but got boring and I lost interest

About romance in later life; well done with some good moments. Beautiful background operatic music.

This had a lot going for it initially, but the pace is tediously slow, they should have cut out at least 30 minutes. I thought Isaac was miscast, as there was no chemistry between the two characters. The daughter lacked "bite", as did most of the characters. Sad, as the reviews had led me to believe it was going to be so much better. Tbh, The Notebook is a much better film about love and old age.

Charming little film about two senior citizens who meet in an assisted-living center. Katherine (Linda Thorson) is sent there to rehab for a broken hip, while Isaac (Stuart Margolin) is a resident. Together, they discover their mutual interests, and their interest in each other. Amusing, touching at times, and never boring, this is a nice movie for the older set. I hadn't seen Thorson since she replaced Diana Rigg in "The Avengers" television series. Here, in her upper 60s, she is simply gorgeous. The big surprise (for me) was seeing Margolin, almost unrecognizable, balding, and with a convincing Yiddish accent. His character could have been ripe for satire, but instead, he gives a restrained performance, and steals every scene. Highly recommended if you're looking for a nice, pleasant diversion. Oh ... make sure to stick around after the closing credits, if you want to see and hear Margolin singing the title song.
