Easy rent on DVD. That was more than a new year’s thing in the lead up. It does capture a lot of atmosphere of the lower west side and then partner’s hood. Same year as Annie Hall. There was of buzz on this at the time, feminine consciousness raising. A good year for Keaton and Gere.

Oh really ??!! I wasn't aware it was released on DVD. I'll have to check that out, even though my old VHS copy is still good. I always loved this movie. Strangely, I always thought it took place in New York City cuz it looks it, but it was actually Chicago I heard.

Tragic movie with a hell of a terrible ending -- they probably would never end a film like this today.

And what's really messed up is basically Keaton's character was being "punished" for her actions from earlier in the film.

I have not. Oh BTW, you spoiled a couple of films in your post.
