Jack Lemmon and Anne Bancroft, who always give exceptional performances, star in this entertaining comedy about a couple who experience the hardships of living in the Big Apple. Jack Lemmon feels depressed because he thinks he's going nowhere in life and promptly gets fired from his job. Anne Bancroft, his wife, begins working leaving Jack Lemmon home all day, which literally drives him crazy. This is a good Neil Simon script that has its occasional slow spot but turns out to be more than what's needed to produce a fine flick.
