The Company of Strangers

The Company of Strangers (US release title: Strangers in Good Company; French title: Le Fabuleux gang des sept[2]) is a 1990 Canadian film directed by Cynthia Scott and written by Scott, Sally Bochner, David Wilson and Gloria Demers.

The writers wrote a basic story outline but allowed the eight women to improvise their dialogue.

A major theme of the film is how the elderly women each face aging and mortality in their own way, and find the courage together to persevere.

The DVD was released on December 7, 1999, by First Run Features as Strangers in Good Company.

[7] Mary Meigs wrote a book about her experience in making the film, In the Company of Strangers (1991).
