Is on AMC tonight in my area. Worthwhile movie. Can relate due to concerns about selling out of '60's ideals, idealistic youth, and friendship. Very good performances from all and moving at times. Outstanding 60's soundtrack. Didn't know about Close giving Kline the OK for Place.
Based on Seacaucus Seven? What was that one like?

"The Big Chill" was made with a much higher budget and isn't a remake of "The Return of the Secacus Seven." I really like both flicks but would pick "Secacus 7" as the superior effort. That may be because I am a bit put off by all the yuppie angst in "Big Chill." Still, it still gets to me and I guess yuppies angst does exist.
Besides, "Big Chill" has Mary Kay Place, whom I have always been a huge fan of. She's a very fine actress and incredibly beautiful. And most of the rest of the cast is great. Mr. Kostner has the role of his life. He's a little less "wooden" than usual and is much more believable playing a dead guy than, say, when he was Robin Hood or Wyatt Earp.

When someone mentions Big Chill, I usually tell them about Secaucus Seven and also about a pre-existing movie called For Jonah Who Will Be 25 In The Year 2000 by the Swiss director Alain Tanner. Similar theme of balancing youthful ideals with worldly realities. Well acted and smart. Worth looking for. Enjoy.

I was disappointed to learn the DVD of "Big Chill" did NOT include the Kevin Costner deleted scenes...it would have made it a keeper !
