Short description
In this film based on a Neil Simon play, newlyweds Corie, a free spirit, and Paul Bratter, an uptight lawyer, share a sixth-floor apartment in Greenwich Village. Soon after their marriage, Corie tries to find a companion for mother, Ethel, who is now alone, and sets up Ethel with neighbor Victor. Inappropriate behavior on a double date causes conflict, and the young couple considers divorce.
What's left behind the scenes
- Robert Redford hated wearing a suit and tie all day, as required by the plot, so during breaks between takes he would put on cowboy boots and a black cowboy hat.
- The film served as the basis for a 13-episode sitcom of the same name, featuring an all-African American cast, which aired in the 1970-1971 season.
- The park mentioned in the film's title is Washington Square Park in New York.
- The play on which this film is based was inspired by the description of the first weeks of screenwriter Neil Simon's (1927-2018) first marriage.
- In 1981, a television version of the film was made with Richard Thomas as Paul, Bess Armstrong as Cory, and Barbara Barrie as Mrs. Banks.
