Modern, that is to say post-Freudian, Vienna. But the doings related in this film are strictly pre-Freudian, not to say prehistoric, in their banality. A rather dour young American psychiatrist (Art Garfunkel) is accosted at a party by a young American something or other (Theresa Russell), who is rather feverish in her gaiety.

In the kitchen he stocks old-fashioned seltzer siphons. He now rarely has time to listen to the Baez, Denver and Garfunkel tapes stacked by the stereo. He no longer owns an auto and frequently uses the subway. (Koch withdrew from law practice when he entered Congress, and lives on his salary of $57,500. His net worth...
