Synopsis

Paul and Corie Bratter are newlyweds in every sense of the word. Paul is a straight-laced lawyer and Corie a romantic free-spirit. They begin their new life together in their unfinished apartment in Manhattan. After a visit from Corie’s mother they decide to introduce her to the eccentric neighbour-in-the-attic Velasco. A wild night ensues, one that highlights just how different Corie and Paul are.

In this Neil Simon 1960s classic, the young couple must find a way to accept and embrace their differences as they learn that marriage is no easy walk in the park.
