An Unmarried Woman 1978

Jill Clayburgh is fantastic in this portrayal of a woman that is suddenly single again. The problem is that there isn't anything very interesting in the movie, not to mention that it feels as dates as you would expect it to feel. I was ambivalent when it ended.

I was completely charmed by this film. The characters are smart and funny and feel real, especially the women. Kelly Bishop in particular is delightful as Jill Clayburgh's bipolar best friend. With its frank and thoughtful discussions of sex and relationships it definitely feels like a precursor to Sex and the City. The scenes of the four female friends drinking together and gabbing in the back of New York City cabs makes me think Michael Patrick King must have been inspired when creating his series some 20 years later. Even some of the saxophone heavy scoring is reminiscent and Carrie's outfit in the series' opening credits could easily have been an homage to Clayburgh's final costume in the film.
