The Man Who Loved Women
Leaving July 31
•
1h 50m
Directed by Blake Edwards • 1983 • United States
Starring Burt Reynolds, Julie Andrews, Kim Basinger
Hollywood sophisticate Blake Edwards transplanted François Truffaut’s French sex comedy to 1980s LA for this ruefully funny portrait of a playboy facing a midlife crisis. David Fowler (Burt Reynolds) has two passions, sculpting and women, and he’s been quite successful in both departments—until now. A desperate inner struggle drives him to the couch of psychiatrist Dr. Marianna Solari (Julie Andrews), to whom David reveals everything from his first sexual encounter to his currently disturbing and often hilarious romantic adventures. But can Marianna help David control his roving eye before it’s too late?
