) 5 by Terry Dupuis Shirley MacLaine makes a welcome return 'to the screen, and James Coburn makes a 'Fare venture into the realm of comedy in a frantic funny film called Loving Couples. acLaine and Coburn portray two doctors lho have been married to each other for 10 years. Both of them have successful medical Practices, but there are signs that the arriage bonds are weakening. The trouble starts one afternoon when Dr. facLaine is out horseback riding. She tends © a voung man who has run his car off the 'oad. The guy is not seriously injured, but it s bad enough for him to be hospitalized for a Duple of days. oving Couples The fellow is quite amorous towards Dr. MacLaine. She resists him for a while but gradually succumbs. The part of the amorous young patient is portrayed by an actor named Stephen Collins, who was recently seen in Star Trek: The Movie and The Promise. More trouble rears its head when Coillins' girlfriend (played by Susan Sarandon) ap- pears on the scene. She informs Dr. Coburn what his wife has been up to. This is when the movie swings into high gear, with one merry mixup after another. There is some witty dialogue and wry ob- servations on modern-day California marriage and relationships. Its kind of an updating of the Doris Day- Rock Hudson type of comedies which were popular back in the sixties. Loving Couples is also slightly reminiscent of a 1968 satire which was called Divorce American Style. But the new comedy is far superior. Shirley MacLaine has established herself in the past as a fine dramatic actress, but she is also well-remembered by filmgoers as a top comedienne in pictures like The Apartment and Irma La Douce. In Loving Couples Shirley demonstrates that she still has not lost any of her comic flair. Perhaps more surprising is James Coburn's performance. Not noted for screen comedy, he proves to be able to keep pace with MacLaine. He acquits himself notably and turns in a performance brimming with witty adult comedy comic finesse. I never would have suspected Coburn to have any flair for sophisticated comedy. Stephen Collins and Susan Sarandon are not required to carry the picture as much as MacLaine and Coburn are. They are not yet seasoned professionals. Nevertheless they play the roles of the younger couple quite capably, and their performances are quite engaging. The director of Loving Couples is Jack Smight, who has previously been most noted for large-scale all-star pictures like Airport 75 and Midway. Like Coburn, he too displays a previously unsuspected skill in being able to handle a witty adult comedy. | Travel News, Views ) from } our 'didyou now?'
