Yes, good one. And the sequel, FATHER'S LITTLE DIVIDEND, while not as good, is still enjoyable.

Saw it so many years ago I've all but forgotten it. Must re-watch it one of these days. Last thing I recall seeing him in was
J. W. Coop
(1972) a pretty decent neo-Western, and
Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken
(1991), an off-beat drama. -

A quaint little movie that I recently watched about marriage was "Vacation from Marriage" (1945) with Robert Donat and Deborah Kerr. They are a quiet couple living in London and both go off to war, he with Navy and her with the Wrens. Both build up their self esteem, and meet again in London after several years apart and neither is content with their old way of life.

45 Years (2015). A beautifully subtle and quietly devastating little gem about an aging couple on the verge of celebrating their 45th anniversary only to have something from the husband's past emerge in the present that threatens to undermine everything. Charlotte Rampling gives an outstanding performance as the wife and totally deserved her Best Actress Oscar nomination. Tom Courtenay is likewise fine as the husband.
You've seen Guy Standeven in something because the man was in everything. -

Oh, Woody, I've wanted so badly to see this, but I fear it will be too hard for me to watch right now. I have avoided it and
Amour
(2012), because I think they are probably both heart-breaking. But thanks for the recommendations. Rest assured that when I'm feeling up to it I will watch them – well, at least
45 Years
. Not sure I'll ever be able to watch
Amour
.

When a Man Loves a Woman (1994). Very touching drama with a superb Meg Ryan as a wife and mother with a severe drinking problem that threatens to ruin her marriage and also puts her two kids in danger. Andy Garcia is also terrific as Ryan's worried husband. The two girls playing the daughters are really good and adorable. Not an easy movie to watch at times, but overall a real poignant and powerful one.
