- TriviaRobert Redford loathed wearing a suit and tie all day which was required for his character. During breaks between filming, Redford wore western boots and a black cowboy hat.
- GoofsBloomingdales calls to say the furniture won't be delivered. The phone was installed only minutes earlier so Bloomingdales would not have the number to call. NOT A GOOF: Bloomingdale's (or anyone else) would in fact know the number to call. You were assigned your phone number the same time you signed up for service. Nobody had to wait until the day of installation to know what their number would be. It wasn't up to the installer.
- Quotes
Ethel: I had to park the car three blocks away. Then it started to rain so I ran the last two blocks. Then my heel got caught in a subway grating. When I pulled my foot out, I stepped in a puddle. Then a cab went by and splashed my stockings. If the hardware store downstairs was open, I was going to buy a knife and kill myself.

Written by Neal Hefti and Johnny Mercer
Like "The Odd Couple" it owes most of its enduring success to the chemistry between Jane Fonda and Robert Redford (reprising his role in the Broadway show) as the hapless newlyweds trying desperately to make it work. This is the movie that is responsible for most of the "mismatched" romantic comedies we've ever seen, including "Along Came Polly" and TV's "Dharma and Greg." It proves that flowery romantic prose isn't what makes a great love story, bold heroes and damsels in distress don't make a good love story. No, what makes a good love story are two people who, from start to finish, makes the audience go "Oh, God in heaven, please let them work it out!"
The brilliant dialogue of Mr. Simon, the charm of Mr. Boyer and the majestic backdrop of New York City make this a must-see for anyone who loves 1, comedy, 2, love stories or 3, Robert Redford because after this, he never really made another movie that was at all comparable.
Oh, I just remembered "Laughter on the 23rd Floor." I guess it's a tie for best Neil Simon movie.
