...keys and shoes--scattered in various corners of the room obviously due to some relatively energetic lovemaking--and then become profoundly embarassed when her ertswhile sexual partner stumbles to the door in his pjs and offers to drive her home. "Oh, no, that's okay," she tries to stutter with some self-respect, "I can get home by myself. Well, bye." This will certainly never go down as one of the great love story good byes...

Lemmon's trademarked excesses are part of the character; they play off Ivanek's imploding edginess in a generational combat of acting styles. Guess who wins in this expanded and affecting version of Bill C. Davis...
