Produced, written, and directed with little panache by 21-year-old Steven Paul, this disappointing film explores the midlife crisis of Harry Lewis (Elliott Gould), who flashes back to his youth while traveling cross-country with his family to a high-school reunion. Harry's recollections
center on his pursuit of Sue (Susannah York), then unattainable, now his wife. Poorly constructed, FALLING IN LOVE AGAIN suffers from the youthful Paul's over-reaching attempt to make a film about characters he doesn't understand. Regrettably, he had even less luck with SLAPSTICK OF ANOTHER KIND,
his adaptation of Kurt Vonnegut's novel
Slapstick
