In some respects "Love Is Strange" could be considered an unofficial remake. If you have seen Leo McCarey's 1937 "Make Way For Tomorrow" (a film Orson Welles declared "the saddest movie I have ever seen") then this set-up will sound familiar. With the loss of income, Ben and George have to sell their co-op and and crash on people's couches as they look for new housing in the confusing and brutal New York real estate market. The priest (a wonderful John Cullum) considers George his friend, but the Archdiocese has demanded George be let go, and he can' t say no to his bosses. But very soon afterwards, George loses his job as a choir director at a Catholic school (because, with the wedding, he has officially come out).
