PLOT

Color/Black and White UCLA Student, Film Preserved by the UCLA Film and Television Archive. A humorous play on Hollywood romance conventions and the process of student film critique. Higgins introduces a meta soundtrack of voices critiquing the film overlaying on the footage, with a filmmaker responding to the questions. Bookending the film is the same footage of a couple running into each others' arms on the beach, contrasted with a story of a couple's attempts to get an abortion in the middle of the film. Directed by Colin Higgins, the writer of Harold and Maude, 9 to 5, and The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas.
