Sweet November (1968)

Academy Award winner Sandy Dennis (Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?) and Anthony Newley star in this 1968 offbeat romance.

Businessman Charlie Blake is wound as tightly as the wristwatch he slavishly obeys. He's all "hurry, hurry, ding, ding," free-spirited Brooklynite Sara Deever says. He's also perfect for her next human salvage project.

She'll welcome Charlie into her romantic life for one month—and one only. Then, Mr. November must step aside for Mr. December. Newley plays the increasingly unwound and smitten Charlie. And Dennis is Sara, whose Man-of-the-Month parade—sexually libertine on the surface—has a deeper, more heartrending resonance.

Charlie and Sara share the life-altering power of love in the witty and wistful Sweet November, from Summer of '42 author Herman Raucher and remade 33 years later (with Keanu Reeves and Charlize Theron).
