About Love with the Proper Stranger
Angie Rossini, an innocent New York City sales clerk from a repressive Italian-American family, engages in a short-lived affair with a handsome jazz musician named Rocky Papasano. When Angie becomes pregnant, she tracks down Rocky hoping he'll pay for her abortion.
Directed by Robert Mulligan, Love with the Proper Stranger leans on a strong ensemble — Natalie Wood, Steve McQueen, Edie Adams — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1963.
