A short poignant movie about the marriage of an incurable romantic and a cynical realist, their lives together, their children, and their troubles and triumphs (she likes to sail boats with handsome lovers; he is a termite inspector). Even though I saw this only once over thirty seven years ago at a small art house, and is completely unavailable in any format as far as I can tell, it has never left my imagination. Narrated by Burgess Meredith, it is (as all good movies are) both funny and tragic. Although not a great or major movie, it is too precious to be lost to time. Someone needs to preserve it so others can share in its magic.
