Minnie and Moskowitz

Minnie and Moskowitz (1971)

John Cassavetes, who gave you 'husbands', 'faces', 'shadows', now adds to his list of intriguing characters...

Depressed and jaded after being dumped by her married boyfriend, aging beauty Minnie Moore wonders if she'll ever find love. After shaggy-haired parking lot attendant Seymour Moskowitz comes to her defense from an angry and rebuffed blind date, he falls hopelessly in love with her despite their myriad differences. Minnie reluctantly agrees to a date with Moskowitz, and, slowly but surely, an unlikely romance blossoms between the two.
