Product Description

Romantic comedy drama based on the successful stage play. George (Alan Alda) and Doris (Ellen Burstyn) meet by chance over dinner at a California inn in the 1950s. Although both are married to others, they find themselves in the same bed the next morning wondering how they got there. This romantic encounter leads the seemingly mismatched pair to agree to meet on the same weekend each year. As those years grow into decades, the two are seen changing and ageing, always in the same room in different scenes. Each helps the other with the challenges and crises that life throws up, and their relationship deepens as history's tide rolls on.

5.0 out of 5 stars Same Time, Next Year 11 Sep 2005
By Granny Pat
Format:DVD
I saw this film many years ago. I was reminded of it recently when playing a Johnny Mathis CD on which he performs the theme tune (The last time I felt like this) with Jane Olivor. Although I remembered enjoying the film, I had forgotten just how funny it was. It was also poignant and had me laughing one minute and crying the next. What more could you ask of a film?
The action covers twenty six years in the lives of Doris (Ellen Burstyn) and George (Alan Alda), showing their first meeting and then every five years of their subsequent meetings which actually take place on one weekend every year. The ageing process is extremely plausible, considering the time span - the clothes and hairstyles of the relevant years helping considerably. We learn so much about the lives and families of these two very unlikely lovers, in the very short amount of time they actually spend together that we feel very close to them both by the end of the film.
I'm not sure if this is a man's film but my husband and I watched it together and he enjoyed it almost as much as I did.

5.0 out of 5 stars A long time coming 8 May 2004
By "tortoisethewise"
Format:DVD
I saw this film many years ago and always wanted to own it.
The cover reads: "Doris is a young housewife from Oakland. George is an accountant from New Jersey. Both of them are hapily married - but not to each other. Once a year, every year they have a romantic reunion, then return to their un-suspecting spouses. Same Time next year is a wonderful, warm romantic comedy about love and adultery."
After much searching I managed to get an old copy on video (ex-rental) this is a wonderful film and one much praised at it's release (it one or as nominated for several Oscars back in 79/80). It was adapted from a Broadway play.The viewer eaves drops on the couples meetings every 5 years or so. It is funny and touching and it has always amazed me that the Studio did not 1. bring it out on DVD and 2.Make a remake of this wonderfull film. In an age where studios will turn out plastic non envent films (aka Mona Lisa's Smile et al) it would do them no harm to update this wonderful film. Please buy it so that the bean counters at the studio bring it out on UK spec. and so they spot that it is worth a remake. There is no excuse to not owning this film

Recommended by a friend to me. I liked it although it is quite an old film. Package arrived pretty promptly and in good condition.

5.0 out of 5 stars a really good film which has more of appeal for the ladies.
As you can imagine, any film with these two actors is going to be good. The subject of the film is timeless so even though it was made in 1978 you don't notice. A Classic.

I just love this film, really romantic and alternative. It is quite an unusual story and not really practical in a real life situation, but really enjoyed the fantasy of it
