Synopsis
Lovers and Other Strangers became a "sleeper" hit, based on a play by
Renée Taylor
and
Joseph Bologna
. The story is essentially a series of vignettes and anecdotes, unified by an impending marriage. Father of the bride Hal (
Gig Young
) has problems with his long-suffering mistress, Cathy (
Anne Jackson
), who spends much of the film sitting on the toilet, crying her eyes out; Wilma (
Anne Meara
), the bride's sex-starved sister, can't wrest her husband, Johnny (
Harry Guardino
), away from the TV; and Frank (Richard S. Castellano), as the groom's father, slips comfortably into Bartlett's Familiar Quotations with his oft-repeated query "So what's the story?" Twelfth-billed
