Sweet November is a 1968 American romantic comedy film written by Herman Raucher and starring Sandy Dennis, Anthony Newley and Theodore Bikel. The film originally had been written as a stage play by Raucher, but before it was performed, Universal Pictures got wind of the project and paid Raucher $100,000 (equivalent to $910,000 in 2023) to stop work on the play and adapt it as a screenplay.[2]

A 2001 remake also titled Sweet November starred Keanu Reeves and Charlize Theron.
