ashley h In the Cool of the Day is a decent film. It is a married couple whose relationship has hit a rough spot. Arthur Hiller and Jane Fonda give good performances. The screenplay is a little slow in places. Robert Stevens did an alright job directing this movie. I liked this motion picture because of the drama and romance. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member interesting rom-dram Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
