Mr. & Mrs. Bridge (1990)
Dai romanzi Mrs. Bridge (1959) e Mr. Bridge (1969) di Evan S. Connell. Itinerario matrimoniale tra gli anni '30 e '40 dei coniugi Bridge di Kansas City: Walter G., avvocato di successo, conservatore in tutto, e India che vive all'ombra del marito, dedita ai tre figli, alla casa in ordine, alle buone maniere, al bridge con le amiche finché le affiora il dubbio che forse la vita potrebbe essere diversa. Sebbene la sceneggiatura di Ruth Prawer Jhabvala, assidua complice della ditta Merchant-Ivory, ricuce i due romanzi per far posto a Newman (sotto le righe), il film è soprattutto il ritratto di Mrs. Bridge (Woodward, squisita): suo è lo struggente finale.
