Bernard Slade

Based on Bernard Slade's hit play, this faithful screen adaptation follows thoroughly compatible writing partners Jason Carmichael (Dudley Moore) and Phoebe Craddock (Mary Steenburgen), who spend 15 years together and share everything in their lives -- except a bed. The supporting cast of this comedy helmed by Arthur Hiller includes Ron Leibman as a reporter to whom Phoebe is briefly married and Frances Sternhagen as Jason's agent.
