Like a serious Woody Allen film i.e. beautifully shot Bergman-like tale of miserable, smart, highly verbal New York Jews, with money, smarts and friendly, and ennui.
Financed by lew Grade who did it to get Shirley MacLaine to sign to a TV series. Frank Gilroy, who wrote and directed, said when Grade saw it for the first time he praised the production values - "all those cars" - for its low budgt. I'm sure he didnt know what else to say.
It's smart and made with care. Feels a coehsive work.
