Short description

Three days into his Miami honeymoon with needy and unsophisticated Lila, Lenny meets tall, blonde Kelly. This confirms his fear that he has made a serious mistake and he decides he wants Kelly instead.

What's left behind the scenes

The film was shot in Miami, New York, and Minneapolis.
One of two screenplays by Neil Simon (1927-2018) based on stories by Bruce Jay Friedman. The other was the screenplay for "The Lonely Guy" (Arthur Hiller, 1984). Charles Grodin starred in both films.
