Description
Based on Bernard Slade's Broadway play of the same name, this film is about George, a married New Jersey accountant (Alan Alda), and Doris, a housewife (Ellen Burstyn). The two accidentally meet in a Californian country inn in 1951. They have an affair, which they continue for the next 25 years, meeting only once a year for a weekend getaway at the same hotel. Through their long-running love affair, the audience witnesses the changes within America and its lifestyles over the course of a quarter of a century. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Movie Guide

Expert Reviews
In 1978, such American movies as The Deer Hunter and Coming Home began to address the Vietnam War, and, in its own small way, Same Time, Next Year tries to put its finger on that pulse as well. The movie follows a single adulterous relationship over almost three decades; with each passing year, there is corresponding social commentary. At times, the two lovers (Alan Alda and Ellen Burstyn) make hairpin turns in their lives which serve as poignant signposts for America's changing political climate. Bernard Slade adapted his Broadway play for the screen, and the action rarely strays from the same hotel room. Despitte the somewhat overwrought conceit, Alda and Burstyn make the film bittersweet and charming; at its best, Same Time is reminiscent of some of Neil Simon's better work. The movie was nominated for four Oscars, including nods for Burstyn and veteran cinematographer Robert Surtees. Brendon Hanley, All Movie Guide
