A soapy melodrama that might induce tears if you're in the right mood....

SIX WEEKS is a somewhat cloying and sentimental melodrama that, thanks to an interesting story and charismatic stars, might make you cry if you catch it in the right of frame of mind. Dudley Moore gives a nicely understated performance as Patrick Dalton, an unconventional congressional candidate, who is married and has a son, who finds himself a little more emotionally involved than he should be with a wealthy industrialist (Mary Tyler Moore) and her daughter (Katherine Healy), an aspiring dancer who is enamored with Dalton and wants to work on his campaign. A somewhat soapy screenplay is made palatable thanks to a surprisingly understated performance from Moore and the charm of young Healy, who is not only a charming actress but an amazing dancer. And Mary Tyler Moore has never looked more beautiful than she does in this film.

I really adored this movie!

I also find that people that make stupid comments like "it's a chick flick" are really insulting to women, to the movie and all the work that went into making this film. I can appreciate Canonball Run but wouldn't call it a "red neck afternoon beer chugging" flick!I have found, over the years, that people who use terms like this when trying to make a useful commentary presentation, do it out of their own insecurity of their feelings that by having these feelings..make them "un-manley". What these ignoramuses don't get..is that most of the educated civilized people in this world...reject that kind of thinking and tend to be "over" that era in their lives. (usually after they turn 16) Some people never grow up.I would tend to agree with a lot of the "educated" commenter's. You do have it see this film a few times to appreciate the nuances! Also, the acting is superb! The girl is an amazing actor and dancer! The relationships are complex due to the subject matter of the child's viewpoint and circumstances!If you can remember what it was like being a child and if you were in a single parent home..the desire to be in a "full family" is a great wish in your heart! The uncomfortableness she makes upon them is simply her wish..I think they "as adults" handle it well for the situation. Also, these actors are not "georgeous" just dropped off the "model" bus. These people could be anybody. It has a real feel to it which is something I missed living in this 'twiggy body air-brushed materialistic' era! (yes..M. Tyler Moore is practically anorexic) but she was always thin and I know someone who is very much like that in a Audrey Hepburn way.If you are open to "dramatic" stories about people and their experiences and are mature about your feelings....you will enjoy this very much!

Very underrated gem that needs to be on DVD!

I absolutely LOVE this movie. Is it a tear-jerker that will pull on your heartstrings? Yes. Is it a little manipulative with your emotions at times? Sure, but in this world of Lifetime movies that have totally screwed up the perception of how powerful an old-fashioned emotional love story can be, it is very easy to overlook this very well made little gem of a film.The performances of the three leads are stellar and that vaults the story passed what could be complete dreck in lesser hands. Dudley Moore and Mary Tyler Moore give two of the best performances of their careers and it's sad that not too many people know about or remember this one. The young girl who played Mary Tyler Moore's daughter, Katherine Healy, only made this one film and was never heard from again. Too bad, since she showed quite a bit of promise. It would have been nice to see what she would have done after this. She was very mature for her age and I would love to know whatever happened to her.I truly believe that if the powers that be see fit to one day release this on DVD, more people would give this film a chance. I hope that happens so that more people can experience what I have loved for many, many years. Plus I only have it on a very well-worn VHS tape and fear losing it forever if it were to ever break.
