Plot: Based on a Broadway hit play. A New York Apartment becomes the setting for comedy hi-jinks when a businessman, his wife, his mistress, and a young client all accidentally meet there.Stars: Jason Robards, Jane Fonda, Dean Jones
Judging by IMDB (6.1 rating with 11 user reviews) this 60s comedy has been pretty much forgotten. And I can see why. Its supposed to be a "wacky" farce with lots of sexual innuendo - but times change, and now it seems like a dated, very long, sitcom. The casting doesn't help. Did anyone ever think Jason Robards was funny? He's too old for the part and lacks charm. And Jane Fonda is miscast, she was never good at being kooky or adorable. Her part required a light-footed Gazelle, and she's a powerful work horse. The supporting characters, Dean Jones and Rosemary Murphy do better.
