Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

A Touch of Class (1973)

The first hour or so was trite and self-congratulatory in its "aren't we grown-up about our adultery arrangement" story line which then devolved into a wannabe comedy resulting from their stupid web of deception. Surprisingly, the finish was strong and, although I never liked either of the principals (or any of the supporters, for that matter), the last scene was almost touching in its loneliness. Glenda Jackson was a solid Oscar choice for her acting – too bad the movie itself is kinda slimy.
