Marsha Mason earned an Academy Award nomination basically playing herself with James Caan. They made a believable couple with Joseph Bologna and Valerie Harper in supporting roles. James Caan played a newly widowed writer and Marsha Mason played a newly divorced actress. His brother and her best friend help match them up together. It's a cute relationship but his first wife's memory gets in the way. They get married after two weeks of dating and spend a honeymoon in the Caribbean where his late wife's memory haunts them. It's a likable film with great shots of New York City in the late seventies. It's a shame that the city isn't affordable anymore. The film has its moments but it's done in typical Neil Simon fashion though.
