Product Description:
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: DRAMA Rating: R UPC: 024543224761 Manufacturer No: 2232476
Amazon.com:
The studio marketed Making Love as 'one of the most honest and controversial films we have ever released,' adding that 'it may be too strong for some people.' That was then, and what once seemed shocking now seems tame. Still, it's hard to imagine the more sexually explicit Brokeback Mountain without it. On the surface, Beverly Hills physician Zack (Michael Ontkean, Twin Peaks) and his TV producer wife, Claire (Kate Jackson, Charlie's Angels), are the ideal couple. A smartly-dressed Gilbert and Sullivan fan, Zack appears to have little in common with denim-clad, openly-gay novelist Bart (Harry Hamlin, L.A. Law). They meet when Bart makes an appointment for a check-up, and the two hit it off. Turns out they share a love of 'corny old movies.' Afterwards, Zack can't stop thinking about his vain, if affectionate patient. Lunch leads to dinner, which leads to physical intimacy (sex is suggested rather than shown). Zack is falling in love, but Bart has no interest in commitment, and Claire suspects another woman. Making Love is narrated by Claire and Bart, who speak directly to the camera. It's unclear whether Arthur Hiller, best known for Love Story, is going for documentary-style realism or foreign film-style sophistication, but the technique does differentiate Making Love from your average soap opera (story credit goes to Pulitzer Prize-winning author A. Scott Berg). Though Hamlin has maintained the highest profile since, it’s the sensitive performances of Ontkean and Jackson that anchor this no longer groundbreaking, but still relevant romantic drama. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

Rating:  - Worth viewing again
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 ... Read More
Rating:  - Great Movie but 10 Years too late!
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!
Rating: - " A Beautiful Love Story"
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 ... Read More
Rating: - Classic but Great
Great movie and how life once was. Like history its eched in stone. Worth the money!
Rating: - cheesy, campy, classic...just the thing
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.
