US (1979): Comedy/Drama

Neil Simon's bright, autobiographical romantic comedy, a big Broadway success that starred Judd Hirsch and Anita Gillette, 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.
