Last of the Red Hot Lovers (1972)
Director: Gene Saks
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
From a Neil Simon play about a conventionally married 40-year-old proprietor of a fish restaurant who finds himself wanting to have an affair. He borrows his old mum's apartment and lures various ladies there, all of whom - wait for it - turn out to have 'impossible' hang-ups, and none of whom he actually screws. A few laughs are wrung out of the situation, and Sally Kellerman provides more as a raunchy lady on a fish diet, but it's all 'heart', of course. Pretty dire.Author:
