      Joseph Gelmis Newsday The assumption of the film, that by casually picking up a stranger at a motor vehicle bureau and scratching his businessman's heart she would uncover a repressed poet, is too bizarre to be believed. May 2, 2024 Full Review Pauline Kael New Yorker The direction, by Robert Ellis Miller, is flat -- as if neither he nor anyone else had any confidence in the material. He and the rest were right, of course. Jul 6, 2022 Full Review Colin Bennett The Age (Australia) Miss Dennis retains a lot of -- damn it -- charm. Or maybe it was the Michel Legrand score. Or maybe I was just refreshed to come across such honest sentimentality; in 1968, a rare breed of picture. Mar 3, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

      Julie B Story had promise, but kinda lost its charm somewhere along the way. I did like seeing old NYC, the actors, hearing the poems, and that had to be Anthony singing the theme song at the end. Sad ending alert. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 05/05/24 Full Review ashley h Sweet November is a decent film. It is about a woman lures emotionally crippled men into affairs and then helps them repair their lives. Sandy Dennis and Anthony Newley give good performances. The script is a little slow in places. Robert Ellis Miller did an alright job directing this movie. I liked this motion picture because of the humor and romance. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review s r Silly Rom-Com, but a nice look at the old NYC. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member More bittersweet than (500) Days of Summer. An oldie but a goodie. Thank you TCM for introducing me to such a fantastic film. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member just ok rom-com lite on com Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member A very Quirky Woman (Sandy Dennis) thinks it's her lot in life to every month take on a new man, & mold hm into the man he is suppose to be but didn't know he is capable of.She has a contract with them that they move in with her at Midnight on the 1st of each month, & leave at midnight on the last day of the month an enhanced, enlightened person.November is Charlie(Anthony Newley), a Stuffy Box Manufacturer who falls in love with her, & his Inner Poet emerges.He doesn't want to leave, & soon discovers she is Terminally. Ill.A lovely Story, much better than the more current version. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
