Love with the Proper Stranger (1963)
Directed by Robert Mulligan this film which received five Oscar nominations stars Natalie Wood and Steve McQueen. A young girl seeks out a musician who got her pregnant from a one night stand to help her get an abortion.
This is a really mature film on a subject that is still relevant today even if abortions are now legally available in most placed. The script for the film is good and has some real character progression despite only covering a fairly short period of time in the story. Natalie Wood is excellent as the girl with an over bearing family and Steve McQueen provides a good counter point as the young man who really needs to grow up.
4/5
