Screen legends Gene Hackman (The Package, Mississippi Burning) and Barbra Streisand (Funny Girl, The Way We Were) star as the oddest couple to beat the odds in this offbeat comedy that proves a man can lose everything and still live happily ever after. After successful executive George Dupler (Hackman) is demoted to managing a seedy all-night drugstore, he decides to totally change his life. Leaving his wife, he takes up with Cheryl (Streisand), a sexy but ditzy neighbor—who’s already had an affair with his son (Dennis Quaid, The Long Riders, The Big Easy)! Now his hands are full with his new wild woman by day and his weird and crazy customers by night in this screwball romantic comedy written by W.D. Richter (Big Trouble in Little China, Needful Things) and directed by Jean-Claude Tramont (Focal Point). The top-notch cast includes Diane Ladd (Wild at Heart), Kevin Dobson (TV’s Kojak), William Daniels (A Thousand Clowns) and Ann Doran (Rebel Without a Cause).
