“I really like this film. Itu0026#39;s exciting to watch these two wonderful talented actors working together. u0026quot;Love With the Proper Strangeru0026quot; is always a favorite and Iu0026#39;m irresistibly hooked on repeated viewing.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003enNatalie Wood is the feisty young working woman struggling for her chance to be independent, to live away from the family (attached Italian parents and brothers in NYC setting) and be on her own terms. Steve McQueen is the center of opposite attraction: the problem and the goal. He is a union musician who is trying to be financially independent; he also has close family ties with both endearing mother and father. Edie Adams is in a supporting role as McQueenu0026#39;s girl friend with an apartment to lean on. Tom Bosley is the kind and good-hearted suitor that Woodu0026#39;s characteru0026#39;s family approves. Itu0026#39;s a heart-warming, very much a 60u0026#39;s love story that touches on the tough subject of abortion, yet brims with humor, drama and affectionate smiles. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eShot in black and white; music by Elmer Bernstein, with the theme song sung by Jack Jones; produced by Alan J. Pakula; the film is keen and sensitively directed by Robert Mulligan.
