 Should've Been on the AFI's list of "Top 100 Romantic Films"Nov 10, 2002
By Shalom J. Stavsky
I saw this movie when it first came out in the 70's and have seen it many times on and off for years.The movie is funny, but what makes it work is the two stars. George Segal (who never looked better) is in fine comedic form, and he and Glenda Jackson complement each other perfectly. She was especially singled out for critical acclaim -- some people compared her to Katharine Hepburn in Hepburn's comedic roles. The movie also affords a look at London in the early 70's. Because the actors work so well together, I would've liked a different (happier) ending for the movie. Still, after thirty years, "A Touch of Class" remains very watchable and poignant -- largely because of the two stars.

One of the funniest, sexiest, smartest movies I've ever seenApr 30, 2002
By Sarah M.
"Fighting the eternal, internal war between Mother Theresa and Veruca Salt."
...and I'm not easy to please. It's strange when you realize just how sexy George Segal was. But the movie is wonderfully written, sharp, smart and incredibly funny. I saw another reviewer liked The Goodbye Girl better. I prefered this...Sharper, more biting, less sentimental. That doesn't mean it's heartless or even cynical, just that it's lacking in syrup. George Segal and Glenda Jackson have the all the chemistry and the comedic chops (and then some) needed to make this movie work. This movie made me laugh a lot, was sexy enough to warm any cold night and smart enough to make me feel like the people who made it figured I had at least a high school education. How come comedic movies this smart don't get made by the major studios anymore?

A must have sophisticated comedyApr 02, 2010
By John R. Peck
A first rate comedy, with just a tough of pathos, and a British rather than American ending. George Segal gives a masterful performance, again working with one of the five best modern actresses (Glenda Jackson here and Jane Fonda in "Fun With Dick & Jane"). Jackson is in turns acerbic, sympathetic, and loving, a restrained, sophisticated performance, proving that great dramatic actresses can do good comedy. The story is well written and directed, as Segal's one night stand evolves into a relationship. Paul Sorvino gives a solid supporting performance. This is a movie for your permanent collection.

 Touch of ClassApr 07, 2011
By sagitaur
One of our all time favourite movies, but we were disappointed with the quality of the print. The film had obviously been 'stretched' and the sound quality was poor. Seems that the transfer to DVD did not work well.
