An underlooked film, written by Mark Horowitz from Brooks' idea. Who is Adam Brooks, by the way? And who is Brooke Adams? You see - that's... Are they the same person, flipped? It's my theory that they are.
Anyway, Griffin Dunne seems like he's not getting on very well with his wife, who wants to go to California and spend time with family. When she has an accident, he becomes attracted to her therapist, Karen Young, who in turn is experiencing dissatisfaction with actor Marty Watt. (None of these people exist, except Griffin Dunne of course. They are all the product of Nick's rather unsteady Sunday morning. A ripple, a wave, a shimmer.)
Yuh. And then the Watt character goes for a job at Dunne's and ends up being invited for dinner, cue awkward moments. Very awkward, as it turns out, when the therapist stays the night...
Lives are messy, or they can be. Some people have messy kitchens, other people have very clean and orderly kitchens (but messy bedrooms). The film was photographed, and edited.
The apartment's in Gramercy, the play no doubt takes place off Broadway - let's say Greenwich Village. The clothing factory is in the Garment District, if there is one. That guy from Cronenburg is in it.
