Love with the Proper Stranger (1963). Natalie Wood and Steve McQueen so you know it has to be good. I'm surprised that so many of these old movies have such adult themes; Premarital sex, affairs, abortion. Also in most all these movies the actor is at least 20 years older than the actress. Natalie, an otherwise good girl, has a one night stand with McQueen and ends up pregnant. She originally wants nothing from McQueen other than help paying for what was then an illegal abortion. McQueen, although he at first doesn't even recognize her (as if) agrees to help. McQueen has to reconnect with his estranged family while Natalie has to avoid her suspicious, over protective brothers. In the course of the movie McQueen learns to feel something for someone and Natalie gains the strength to breakout from her controlling family. Wood and McQueen turn in some good performances. Joe Bob says check it out.
