“It Takes Both Hands to Grab Onto Love”
Released 11 May 1985 104 min Comedy / Drama / Romance / TV Movie More from 1985 → IMDb ↗ · Letterboxd ↗ · TMDB ↗
Letting Go stars John Ritter as a widower and Sharon Gless as a lonely unmarried woman. They meet during a group-therapy session. Romance is inevitable, but the road to true happiness is pockmarked by a series of comic complications. Advertised as a straight romantic drama, Letting Go is actually more akin to the screwball comedies of the 1930s, with a strong satirical bent regarding "behavior modification" theories. The made-for-TV film debuted May 11, 1985.
