Media Type: DVDDevotees of Neil Simon’s repartee, such as in his Goodbye Girl and Brighton Beach Memoirs, will enjoy this earlier tale of domestic dispute between newlyweds. Corie (Jane Fonda) is the young housewife trying to keep life exciting while making a home for her and her husband, Paul (Robert Redford), on the fifth floor of a Greenwich Village walkup apartment. He’s working hard at starting his career as lawyer; she’s eager to be romantic and spontaneous; and the two have plenty to squabble about. The film suffers a bit from Corie’s excessive perkiness and the odd lack of chemistry between the two actors. But those who find the dramatic conventions a bit stiff (some of the dialogue and action seems more suited for stage than screen) may still smile at the dated look (circa 1967) at home life. Mildred Natwick is superb as Corie’s mother, and Charles Boyer milks his role as the elderly bohemian neighbor upstairs. –Jenny Brown
