Touch of Class, A (DVD)

I saw this movie when it first came out in the 70's and have seen it many times on and off for years. The movie is funny, but what makes it work is the two stars. George Segal (who never looked better) is in fine comedic form, and he and Glenda Jackson complement each other perfectly. She was especially singled out for critical acclaim -- some people compared her to Katharine Hepburn in Hepburn's comedic roles. The movie also affords a look at London in the early 70's. Because the actors work so well together, I would've liked a different (happier) ending for the movie. Still, after thirty years, "A Touch of Class" remains very watchable and poignant -- largely because of the two stars.

I love this movie! I saw it years ago and had to have it. Funny, touching, believable characters.

This film has so much warmth and humor that I could (and have) seen it many times. Glenda Jackson won the best actress award for her ability to be both dramatic and hilarious. Boy, those two ( George Segal as her co) just ooze with charisma and charm. While there is a touching message at the conclusion, getting there was so much fun. From the gorgeous scenes of London to spectacular, to sunny Spain, this film is true entertainment. I wish there were more adult films like this being made today.

I was looking forward to seeing this film again, not having seen it since its original theatrical release. The content of the film did not disappoint, although it was clear this time around how many of the set pieces that were original in the film have been used again and again in films and tv sitcoms since. One serious negative is that this DVD is captured in 4:3 then widescreen. Hence it occupied an extremely small part of my 50" screen. Surely such a great Oscar winner needs a blu ray makeover. Common Criterion!

You want to go back to the time when romantic comedies really were romantic? This is a fond memory of mine from my college days and it holds up well all these years later. Glenda Jackson shines in her second Oscar winning performance and George Segal makes up the handsome other half of two people who have an affair and happen to fall in love against all expectations. They don’t make ‘em any better than this. Pop come corn, get your Raisinettes and get ready to enjoy movie night at home.

This film was so popular in my 20 s and I have not seen it since then but now in my 50s although very funny at the beginning it was so disapointing at the end ,although I did remember how the movie ended it was not that romantic film my mind had clung to . This film is watchable, and will make you smile to begin with but it does fade quickly . The scenery of London was how it was then, and the quaint little shops that we all know and love London to have, were just so London and you will love this part. Anyone who purchases this film ,and watching it for the first time will probably love it, but for those of us walking down memory lane my suggestion is ,just keep your memories ,that way you will not be let down .

Love this movie and it's never become dated. George Segal and Glenda Jackson are perfectly cast, and the comedy is timeless. A married man who never cheats on his wife "in the same town" meets an attractive woman who is also interested in no strings sex for a week in Malaga. What happens to them just trying to get to Malaga is hysterical, and him trying to make airline reservations is the funniest scene ever. Buy this movie! It's one of those you can watch over and over again!

A first rate comedy, with just a tough of pathos, and a British rather than American ending. George Segal gives a masterful performance, again working with one of the five best modern actresses (Glenda Jackson here and Jane Fonda in "Fun With Dick & Jane"). Jackson is in turns acerbic, sympathetic, and loving, a restrained, sophisticated performance, proving that great dramatic actresses can do good comedy. The story is well written and directed, as Segal's one night stand evolves into a relationship. Paul Sorvino gives a solid supporting performance. This is a movie for your permanent collection.

Delivery was rather slow. The movie is great. The DVD played perfectly. There is no subtitle facility on this version.

Not at all english subtitles or any others . It was deliberately indicated that this disc has english subtitles. I am furious.

Grosse klasse,100% empfehlenswert, Folgendes:diese Sendung ist nicht bei mir eingetroffen obwohl wurde versandt,nach 3 wochen über den Lieferungstermin hab'ich reklamiert und ohne irgendwilche Streit oder Diskussion hat man mir den Preis zurückerstattet,so etwas gibt es sehr selten. Durch ein wunder ist ist das Paket doch eingetroffen,scheinbar bei dem Zoll abgekommen.

It is as shown and is lovely!

Habe diesen Film leider nicht sehen können. Der erste Einkauf bei Amazon, der völlig missglückt ist. Der Film darf ja nur in den USA und Kanada verkauft werden. Meine beiden DVD-Player lehnen das Lesen dieses Film wegen falschen Ländercodes ab.
