Based on the novel by Mervyn Jones, John And Mary stars Hoffman as a furniture designer and Farrow as an art gallery assistant who meet in an upscale New York singles bar and go home together. The next day, they individually wander around the city, wondering what their night together might have meant anything. Even though both carry over-the-limit baggage from unsuccessful earlier affairs, and both are stocked with enough hang-ups to fill volumes of psychological textbooks, there's still a chance that they'll wind up together at least one more time and if nothing else, learn each other's names for the first time!

John and Mary recounts a relationship that didn’t begin, which isn’t a bad idea and its execution isn’t bad either: an associational chain of flashbacks (and flashforwards) that are connected with the present physically and not only in the minds of the characters. However, the original and timeless form, most likely inspired by European films, should not have to serve for occasionally forced socio-political commentary. And intelligent conversation of two dissimilar people (a “pure” flower child and a member of the upper crust awash with wealth) and, at the same time, two excellent actors at the beginning of their stellar careers would have sufficed. 70%
