Head Over Heels (1979 film)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Head Over Heals is a 1979 romantic comedy film, written and directed by Joan Micklin Silver.
Charles (a civil servant in Salt Lake City) loves Laura (a housewife with a step-daughter and an ex-husband named Ox). Charles' roommate is unemployed, his mother is all but crazy, and the rest of his family is equally eccentric. Charles wants to win Laura back, and his efforts form the substance of the film.
This film is based on the 1976 novel Chilly Scenes of Winter by Ann Beattie. The video release used the novel’s title.
