Paul Mazursky drew heavily from Francois Truffaut’s Jules et Jim for this look at two free spirits, played by Michael Ontkean and Ray Sharkey, as they grow up and out of 1960s New York and into life in Los Angeles. Margot Kidder stars as the woman that both men love and turn to for inspiration. (1980, 116 min. Rated R. Screened from DVD.)
