The Four Seasons (1981)

 

Three couples vacation together every season. After one divorces, feelings of betrayal and more spawn criticisms of each other. But the things that keep them together are stronger than those which otherwise might pull them apart.

From memory: Mildly amusing romantic comedy is centered on the vagaries of mid-life marriage; good cast and interesting premise, but otherwise not very exciting.

Halliwell**: "Rueful sexual comedy which maintains considerable momentum and actually makes us laugh at its sympathetic characters."

Maltin***: "As comedy it scores, with warmly winning cast, but like its main character, it prfesses to discuss serious issues while pulling back after just touching the surface." 

 

So Young, So Bad (1950)

A psychiatrist and nurse overthrow the abusive heads of a girls' reform school in order to teach the "unfortunate" young women that they have a chance at healthy lives.

Well-meant, above-average girls' penitentiary drama is low-budget and exploitative, but with a liberal streak for reform.

Maltin**1/2: "Effective study of female juvenile delinquency."
