This is quite a nice little comedy in its gently quirky way. Gene Hackman is a middle-aged minor executive who can't take being trodden on any more, and throws a chair out of the (closed) window of his high-rise office. His marriage follows it when he falls in love with his son's mistress (Barbra Streisand), the nutty nymphomaniac wife of his cousin. Hackman's demotion to nightstore manager results in some amusing encounters with shoplifters and assorted felons and there are elements of The Graduate in there somewhere. Hackman is very good in a rare comedy role.
