Neil Simon's bright, autobiographical romantic comedy, a big Broadway success, has been adapted to the screen in a screenplay by Simon, directed by
Robert Moore, that subtly shifts the emphasis from the play. In the stage version, recently widowed writer George Schneider (
James Caan) and his efforts to form a new relationship after years of marriage, was the crux of the story. The film, however, reduces George's role and, instead, emphasizes the character of Jennie MacLaine (
Marsha Mason), the actress being wooed by George. ~ Paul Brenner, All Movie Guide
