Source summary
WikipediaThe Four Seasons is a 1981 American romantic comedy-drama film written and directed by Alan Alda, starring Alda, Carol Burnett, Len Cariou, Sandy Dennis, Rita Moreno, Jack Weston, and Bess Armstrong. It draws its title from the four concerti composed by Antonio Vivaldi. Those compositions, along with others by Vivaldi, constitute the musical score.
Three middle-class married couples – Jack and Kate Burroughs; Nick and Anne Callan; Danny and Claudia Zimmer – live in New York City and are the best of friends. Jack is a moralistic lawyer, Kate a Fortune magazine editor, Nick an insurance salesman and estate planner, Anne a housewife and photographer who enjoys taking pictures of vegetables, Danny a cheap dentist who displays symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder and hypochondriasis, and Claudia an insensitive Italian painter. Quarterly (in each of the four seasons), the three couples go on vacations planned by Kate.
In the month of May, the six friends go to Nick's and Anne's weekend cottage in the forest to celebrate Nick's and Anne's anniversary. The husbands cook Chinese food and go bike racing, while the wives discuss Anne's latest photos. While gathering firewood, Nick reveals to Jack how unhappy he is being married to Anne and how he plans to divorce her, wanting a woman who can excite him. When Jack asks if another woman is involved, Nick denies it. That night, Kate is devastated when Jack tells her of Nick's intentions, and both worry about Anne.
