- Critics' reviews
-
-
"Elaine May's second feature is a funny and sometimes side-splitting whose whole never approaches the success of its best moments in which the two levels of romantic fantasy and satire are reconciled."
-
"It’s painfully funny. And it’s outrageously sad."
-
"It shows a winning and original insight into some interesting characters. Principal credit goes to Elaine May, whose deft direction elicits a memorable performance from newcomer Charles Grodin"
