...people involved in the press and academia, the oft- repeated charge that white women are "walking all over" minorities in the job market, and the polemics about the "incorrectness" of interracial relationship (among Blacks) or heterosexuality (among gays).

Such suspense - and such full-throated comedy - as the picture offers derives mainly from Allan Magicovsky as Adams' wildly jealous lover.
