US (1973): Comedy/Romance
Producer/director/co-writer Melvin Frank struck box-office gold when he teamed George Segal with Glenda Jackson in this romantic comedy. Segal plays a married insurance executive who can't seem to avoid bumping into divorced fashion designer Glenda Jackson wherever he goes. Finally bowing to the Inevitable, Segal and Jackson fall in love. He suggests a romantic rendezvous in Spain... but nothing, absolutely nothing, goes as planned. A comedy of errors ending on an unexpected note of pathos, A Touch of Class was nominated for four Academy Awards, and earned Glenda Jackson her second "Best Actress" Oscar.
