Plot

A feminist travels through Europe with a male chauvinist.

Cast

Production

The film was the first produced script from Maggie Brooks, a tv playwright.[4]

Three quarters of the budget came from the NFFC with the rest coming from Virgin Films.[5]

Release

The film was not released in New York until 1988. The New York Times said "Nothing happens in Loose Connections that isn't announced ahead of time, but the movie is very decently acted by Mr. Rea and especially by Miss Duncan... The film... is bright, articulate, gentle and completely unsurprising."[6]

Filmink argued "everyone involved was very talented but the movie didn't quite click."[3]
