A successful young L.A. doctor and his equally successful television-producer wife find their happily-ever-after life torn assunder when he suddenly confronts his long-repressed attraction for other men. Zach and Claire live a comfortable life secure in their love for one another when Bart a swinging L.A. novelist walks into Zach's office and awakens unfamiliar feelings in him. In a move which leaves him wracked with guilt Zach cancels dinner with his wife in order to go out with Bart. He is inexplicably drawn to this man who seems intent on keeping him at arms distance. Why can't Bart allow their relationship to grow? he wonders. Exasperated he asks Bart "Do you snore? Does anybody ever get a chance to find out?" As Zach's absences become more and more frequent Claire's concern manifests itself in the suspicion that he is having an affair with another woman. Jilted by Bart and feeling alone for the first time in his married life Zach resolves to tell Claire the truth about himself. Predictably Claire is shocked that she could have known so little about the man she has loved for so many years and accuses him of deceiving her from the very start.System Requirements:Running Time 113 Mins.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:Â DRAMA Rating:Â R UPC:Â 024543224761 Manufacturer No:Â 2232476

Summary: Worth viewing again
Comment: For those of us who were old enough to see "Making Love" when it first came out over a quarter century ago, a second look is well worth it. At the time, this film was considered groundbreaking, if not overly deep, but one is reminded that this was a pre-AIDS era and one where gay themes had not yet been tackled in a two-hour film.
The story is simple enough...a triangulation of people in love and a marriage which fails due not to any malicious intent. While the acting is not exactly gripping, it does have a poignancy and relevance to 2008. "Making Love" could be made today with some minor changes, but the core of the film is good.

Summary: Great Movie but 10 Years too late!
Comment: This is a great Movie and a good song to boot! It should have been one that could have been told 10 years sooner in 72. But good just the same. Can you believe Goldie Hawn was suppose to play the Jackson part. It would have been too funny!

Summary: " A Beautiful Love Story"
Comment: Way before "Brokeback Mounatin" proved that a love story between 2 men could work in Hollywood "Making Love" was a movie that explored the topic. Wonderfully produced and acted "Making Love" has not aged. The story is what carries the film as a young doctor, who is married, comes to terms with his hidden homosexuality when he meets a patient who is out. Two types of gay men are explored in this film; the dedicated relationship type and the more promiscuous kind. You really feel for all the characters in the film as the subject matter is still one that many in the world find themselves in.
The movie itself was rare for many years and now it finally has a home on DVD. The film is presented in widescreen format and comes with the trailer. It is beautifully restored. The movie is the first Hollywood film to depict homosexuality in a positive light. Sit back and enjoy a true love story where there are really no winners.

Summary: Classic but Great
Comment: Great movie and how life once was. Like history its eched in stone. Worth the money!
Customer Rating:
Summary: cheesy, campy, classic...just the thing
Comment: I saw this way back when it first came out, and like most folks I was just happy no one had to die at the end of it. Is it a great movie? No, but it is a slice of life and time that does play more like a Lifetime movie, but both guys look good and all involved seem to get a happy ending of their own, which is nice. I will always be a Michael Ontkean fan, he is just hot.
