A spicy, dry and often hilariously-scripted comedy about two honeymooners.

It achieves both warm, human relationships and comic lines that are set against one another with precision balance, never overloading the laughs, but rattling them out at a consistent pace.

'I think I'm going to be a lousy wife,' Jane Fonda tells Robert Redford at the door of their honeymoon hotel. 'But I'm very sexy.'

After six days and nights, he's convinced. 'I have to go to work,' he gasps, staggering out on the seventh. 'I don't do this for a living.'

Alas, in their new flat (top floor) comes the dawn. The radiator won't radiate, the bed (to Jane's horror) fails to arrive for the first night and snow comes through the skylight.

It's a film cocktail that never fails to sparkle.
