About this movie

A pretty hospital night nurse (Jane Fonda) says "I do" to the Korean War vet (Jim Hutton) under her care. Within moments she wonders what she's done. Ralph (Tony Franciosa) wed for money five years ago but has grown to love his bride (Lois Nettleton). Except she just walked out on him. Y'all linger and look on as these pairs go through a Period of Adjustment. This splintered-souls romantic comedy from an unexpected source is very much a movie of firsts: Tennessee Williams' first comedy, director George Roy Hill's first feature, Nettleton's big-screen debut and a personal period of adjustment for Fonda, the filmmaking experience that made her realize she could master the elusive craft of creating a character on film.
