Huge hit at the time. Not known much now. The film version flopped I think or underperformed. The film felt too late - the play must've been at just the right time. Just the right amount of sexiness.
It's in the vein of Norman Krasna or Voice of the Turtle - some misunderstandings but not a farce more a serious light comedy. Strong central situation - woman who is a mistress is turning 30, she sees her dude every Wednesday, she wants more. Two other characters come along - young man having a business dispute with her man, and the wife of the man.
It's handled with empathy and kindness. Unshowy, effective structure. Quite good. Not super funny but that' fine.
