This Neil Simon comedy is about a middle aged Jewish man Barney Cashman who runs a seafood restaurant in New York City and lives in the suburbs with his wife Thelma. This comedy is typical Neil Simon. Barney tries to have an affair with three different women. Elaine played wonderfully by Sally Kellerman. There is Bobbi played by Paula Prentiss and suburban housewife Jeanette (played well by Renee Taylor). The film is about a married man having a midlife crisis. The film is based on the play but remains true to its intent. There is a lot more dialogue that action in the film. The film is set in New York City and an unknown suburb. The film is a delight for Neil Simon and Alan Arkin fans. Alan Arkin has become one of my favorite actors and this film highlights his charm and complexity as an actor.
