In one of Neil Simon's most human and insightful plays, middle-aged, faithful, responsible Barney Cashman, wants to experience one sweeping romantic fling outside of his tranquil marriage before life passes him by. On three different afternoons he invites women to his mother's empty apartment while she is out doing charity work. Behind plentiful laughs is a tender and timeless portrayal of a decent fellow, who's personal mores are colliding with the sexual revolution of the day. This is a comedy that will linger with you long after the laughter has become an appreciated memory.
