Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Prelude to a Kiss is a 1992 American romantic fantasy film adapted from the 1988 play of the same title, both of which were written by Craig Lucas and directed by Norman René. The play's New York premiere starred Mary-Louise Parker and Alec Baldwin, with Meg Ryan replacing Parker for the film. Also in the film cast are Sydney Walker, Kathy Bates, Ned Beatty, Patty Duke, and Stanley Tucci.The plot follows Peter Hoskins (a conservative, self-conscious man) and Rita Boyle (a liberal, seemingly free-spirited woman) as they meet and fall in love. Rita turns out to be cynical and fearful of life's uncertainties. On their wedding day, Rita is kissed by an elderly stranger named Julius, causing their souls to switch bodies. Peter realizes the change and soon reunites with Rita, now in the body of Julius. While trying to figure out how to restore his wife, Peter tries to connect with Rita despite her new form.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |
