Parallel Lives Movie Review 1994

Sorority sisters and frat brothers (and their various spouses and lovers), from the classes of both 1948 and 1973, gather for an on-campus weekend reunion and discover old and new jealousies, rivalries, and lots of lust (requited and not). There's also an unexpected death and a police investigation as well. Director Yellen had her cast improvise much of their dialogue--the same method she used in "Chantilly Lace."
