Neil Simon's sparkling screenplay warmly explores the heart and the mind. This touching, humorous and sophisticated production probes the delicate balance in the relationship between a Broadway star, recently released from an asylum for alcoholics, and her estranged daughter, who comes to live with her.

"Neil Simon’s screenplay is one of his best. Marsha Mason has received three Oscar nominations but she has never given a performance to equal this one."

— Vincent Canby, THE NEW YORK TIMES
