This Movie Is About.
Wiki.
Chilly Scenes of Winter is a 1979 American romantic comedy film written and directed by Joan Micklin Silver, and starring John Heard, Mary Beth Hurt, Peter Riegert, Kenneth McMillan, and Gloria Grahame. Based on the 1976 novel by Ann Beattie, it follows a civil servant worker in Salt Lake City who falls in love with a recently-separated woman who works in his office building.
Filmed on location in Salt Lake City, it was released by United Artists in October 1979 under the alternate title Head Over Heels, and promoted as a lighthearted romantic comedy, much to the disapproval of director Silver as well as the film's actors. The cast and crew unsuccessfully petitioned for United Artists to release the film under its original title. Following an unfavorable box-office performance, United Artists re-released the film in 1982 as Chilly Scenes of Winter, featuring an alternate cut which concludes with a downbeat ending, unlike the original version and its source novel.
The film has been cited as a cult film by multiple cinematic sources.
