Plot Summary
Deftly directed by Mark Rydell, this poignant romantic drama features a stunning all-star cast that includes James Caan, Marsha Mason, Eli Wallach, Burt Young, Sally Kirkland and Dabney Coleman. His ship docked in Seattle, Navy man John Baggs Jr. (Caan) has a "Cinderella Liberty" pass, meaning he can be out until midnight, so he intends to make the most of his evening. And things are clearly going his way when he "wins" call girl Maggie Paul (Mason) in a pool game. But once Baggs finds out that Maggie has an 11 year-old son and another baby on the way, he backs off, anxious to rid himself of complications he just can't contend with. That is, until he falls in love.

love love love this movie
This really is a great love story! I can watch this movie over and over and still have that feel good movie feeling! Wprth more than the $9.99 their asking!!!!!!
Ah, men
romantic, heroic, real---and why I love my sailor...for the past 50 years and counting
Caan & Mason are superb!
The theme of the story is somewhat simplistic and naive, but the interaction between Caan and Mason is so natural and effortlessly paced that one feels like they are stepping into the lives of these people. They add a richness that feels realistic, but also very honest and direct. This film stands the test of time very well!
