Woody Adjacent - Alan Alda, Ellen Burstyn - Same Time, Next Year (1978)

We are back just before the end of the month to deliver another great Adjacent conversation on a golden oldie hollywood has tried to reboot a few times but can never quite get another adaptation off the ground, so until then we will talk about the current original...

 

In Same Time Next Year (1978) which is set in 1951, two seemingly happily married individuals, Doris (Ellen Burstyn), a housewife from Oakland, and George (Alan Alda), an accountant from New Jersey, meet by chance at a California inn. A passionate connection sparks, leading them to make an unusual agreement: to meet at the same inn every year for a single night, away from their families and lives.

 

As the years pass, the film jumps forward, showcasing these annual encounters. We witness Doris and George navigate life's ups and downs – births, deaths, marital challenges, and personal growth – while their own relationship deepens beyond the initial physical attraction.

 

Through their candid conversations and shared experiences, they develop a unique intimacy that transcends their respective marriages. They offer each other support, understanding, and a space to be themselves outside their societal roles.
