Robert and Nina Tracey have been married for eight years when their relationship falls apart, and they go their separate ways. Both try to start over, Robert with encouragement from his friend Charlie Nelson and Nina with help from her mother, and each meets new people. Their paths keep crossing anyway, and the encounters make it harder to leave the marriage behind.

Mark Robson directed this comedy, working from a screenplay by George Axelrod. It was the fifth of the thirteen films Robson directed, coming after My Foolish Heart and before The Harder They Fall. Judy Holliday plays Nina and Jack Lemmon plays Robert, with Jack Carson as Charlie, Kim Novak as Janis, Luella Gear as Edith Chapman and Donald Randolph as Dr. Van Kessel among a credited cast of sixty-four. Columbia Pictures produced the film, which runs eighty-eight minutes.

Released in November 1954, the film draws modest ratings from viewers: 6.6 out of 10 on IMDb from around 2,300 votes, and 6.2 out of 10 on TMDB from a much smaller group of 41 votes. Audiences who have seen it rate it as a routine, mildly pleasant comedy of divorce and reconciliation.
