Choose Me

Choose Me is a 1984 American romantic comedy-drama film written and directed by Alan Rudolph, starring Geneviève Bujold, Keith Carradine, and Lesley Ann Warren.

After being released from a mental hospital, where his stories are perceived as lies, Mickey returns to Los Angeles in search of someone named Eve.

Despite being also attracted to Mickey, Eve refuses to commit to any one man, confessing to French radio talk show host Dr. Nancy Love that she ruined too many marriages to have one of her own.

That night, Eve rebuffs Mickey's advances and sleeps with a bartender, while avoiding Zack, the wealthy married man she is having an affair with.

Zack in turn resumes his pursuit of Eve, although his wife, Pearl, has secretly begun to haunt the bar hoping to catch him in flagrante.

Eve is intrigued but cool, and Mickey leaves when Pearl offers to get him into a hot card game where he can obtain the money for a ticket home.

She is just waking up when Zack walks in, still stinging from Eve's rejection, and attacks Mickey, pulling a gun and taking back the money he lost.

Nancy's post-coital euphoria overcomes her normal intellectual approach, and she encourages Eve to give in to, rather than resist, her feelings.

The entire movie has a lilting, loose, choreographic flow to it [...] this low-budget comedy-fantasy has some of the most entertaining (and best-sustained) performances I've seen all year."
