Blume in Love **** (1973, George Segal, Susan Anspach, Kris Kristofferson, Marsha Mason, Shelley Winters, Paul Mazursky) Classic Movie Review 8799

Susan Anspach, Kris Kristofferson in Blume in Love (1973).

The 1973 movie Blume in Love is a thoroughly enjoyable romantic comedy drama with a few home truths from writer-producer-director Paul Mazursky. George Segal is on his liveliest form as Stephen Blume, a divorced divorce lawyer still in love with his ex-wife Nina Blume (Susan Anspach).

The particularly stellar support cast throws up entertaining turns from Kris Kristofferson, Marsha Mason and Shelley Winters.

Blume in Love is directed by Paul Mazursky, runs 117 minutes, is made and released by Warner Bros, is written by Paul Mazursky, is shot in Technicolor by Bruce Surtees, is produced by Paul Mazursky and is scored by Bill Conti.

The song ‘Love in Bloom’ was a hit for Bing Crosby in 1934, so the movie title is explained.
