Reviews
"A Touch of Class is sensational. Director, writer and producer Melvin Frank has accomplished precisely what Peter Bogdanovich did in What's Up, Doc? - revitalizing, updating and invigorating an earlier film genre to smash results." — Variety Staff .http://www.variety.com/review/VE1117795825.html?categoryid=31&cs=1"Melvin Frank's "A Touch of Class" is a very patchy movie enormously funny in bits and pieces and sometimes downright dumb. When the material matches their intelligence, Segal and Miss Jackson are extremely funny lovers, as on their first night when they find themselves lying in bed, each on his (or her) "wrong" side, arguing about how they will change locations with a minimum of fuss." — Vincent Canby The New York Timeshttp://movies.nytimes.com/movie/review?_r=1&res=9C05E3DD123DE13ABC4951DFB0668388669EDE&partner=Rotten%20Tomatoes
"Melvin Frank's "A Touch of Class" is a sharp-edged, often very funny dissection of a love affair between two possibly incompatible people. But then it gets serious with itself and ends on a note that doesn't satisfy us."' '— Roger Ebert http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/19730709/REVIEWS/307090301/1023
