Same Time, Next Year

From Free net encyclopedia

Same Time, Next Year is a play by Bernard Slade which tells the story of a couple, married to others, who develop a relationship in which they meet each year at a country inn and spend a weekend together. The relationship evolves into emotional intimacy over the course of 25 years, and they become much more than clandestine lovers. Though they only meet once a year, they become important parts of one another's lives.

In 1978 it was made into a film starring Ellen Burstyn and Alan Alda.

The movie was adapted by Bernard Slade from his play, and was directed by Robert Mulligan.

It was nominated for Academy Awards for Best Actress in a Leading Role (Ellen Burstyn), Best Cinematography, Best Music, Song (Marvin Hamlisch, Alan Bergman and Marilyn Bergman for "The Last Time I Felt Like This") and Best Writing, Screenplay Based on Material from Another Medium.
