Overview

Musical dancer on the way out (at 36) Paula McFadden had it swell with actor Tony DeSanti, but instead of taking her to Hollywood he gets a European movie part. He even sublets their (his) New York apartment to Elliot Garfield, who generously lets her stay, even keeping the master bedroom. Pragmatic pre-teen daughter Lucy soon takes to his charm, but Paula remains determined to hate all actors. Despite the stress of a Broadway Shakespeare lead he must play too queer for Frisco, he's determined to snatch romance from ingratitude.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A warm-hearted romantic comedy about two people forced to share space and gradually discovering each other beneath their defenses. It's the kind of feel-good story that lets charm and chemistry do the heavy lifting.
