Saw the American film An Unmarried Woman with Jill Claybergh. She's a very good actress, no one could be better for Nostalgia.

One of the greatest feminist films ever made, and featuring a killer performance from Jill Clayburgh, An Unmarried Woman is a simply outstanding film.
-
A modern look (at the time) at womanhood and how it is defined in 70's America. Jill Clayburgh gives us such a sharply defined look at this woman and how her divorce is an awakening to her self. She goes past the writing (though terrific) to show a person who never really understood herself, and now presented with the chance, is able to latch on to a few people here there to steer her on the right path.

Paul Mazursky's film has just the right amount of dust on it to give it a special touch. Jill Clayburgh and Alan Bates have good chemistry together even though their relationship in the film seems awfully rushed.
