Plot Summary

A man and woman meet by chance at a romantic inn over dinner. Although both are married to others, they find themselves in the same bed the next morning questioning how this could have happened. They agree to meet on the same weekend each year. Originally a stage play, the two are seen changing, years apart, always in the same room in different scenes. Each of them always appears on schedule, but as time goes on each has some personal crisis that the other helps them through, often without both of them understanding what is going on. Written by John Vogel

Trivia Ellen Burstyn won the Best Actress Academy Award for Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore (1974) while performing in the "Same Time, Next Year" play on Broadway. In the same year, she won the Tony Award for Best Actress for the play. Ironically, Burstyn received both awards at the same time in the same week. Burstyn is one of only two actresses to win both awards in the same year. The other actress was Audrey Hepburn who won a best Actress Tony for "Ondine" in the same year she won an Oscar for Roman Holiday (1953). See more »
Goofs The intervals are mostly 5 years, except after 1966 it skips to 1972, as this marks their 21st anniversary. However, in the 1977 meeting, George brags that he saved Doris and Harry's marriage "6 years ago"--in 1971, not 1972, which was the actual meeting in which George pretended to be a counseling priest.

Quotes George: When I touched you just now, I started to get excited. What kind of a pervert am I? Staring at a 200-pound pregnant woman and I'm getting hot!
Doris: Well, I'll tell you something. That is about the nicest thing that anybody's said to me in months.
