Plot
John Travolta played his first romantic lead in this drama about an ill-fated May-September romance. Trisha (Lily Tomlin) is a wealthy middle-aged housewife living in Southern California. Trisha's life has become dull and uneventful, and her long-term marriage to Stu (Bert Kramer) has gone stale. One day, a handsome young drifter named Strip (Travolta), nearly 20 years her junior, happens along the beach near Trisha's house. He finds Trisha attractive, and he approaches her. Soon the two have fallen into an affair, but while Trisha enjoys Strip's company and thinks that he's handsome, it's obvious that he's more interested in her than she is in him. Moment by Moment was written and directed by Jane Wagner, Lily Tomlin's longtime companion and frequent writing partner. ~ Mark Deming, RoviCast

Critical response
This movie was wholly panned by critics and moviegoers alike and has never been released on home video in any medium, but a high-definition video master, suitable for a DVD and/or HD-DVD release, exists and has been broadcast on Universal HD. Moment by Moment remains a "camp classic," with a reputation sufficient to have prompted the Mystery Science Theater 3000 producers to try (unsuccessfully) to obtain the rights necessary to broadcast it and mock it on their show.[1] The film grossed $10,963,824 in the United States.[2]
Other
Despite the film's poor reputation, its title song was a considerable hit for singer Yvonne Elliman in 1979.
