    • Alternate versions
      For its very rare early 80's broadcast showings, 13 minutes were added onto the film's running time, boosting it to almost 127 minutes. Added are more scenes involving Sheila's "typing/singing" job.

    6/10
    Sloppily-made, but ingratiating little film
    Adaptation of Gail Parent's celebrated novel about a quirky young woman who heads to New York City in search of a husband, but "finds herself instead" (as they say). Despite soupy production, bad editing and godawful music, Jeannie Berlin manages to shine as Sheila (she's utterly unpredictable and unconventional as a leading lady); Roy Scheider is also terrific in support as an eligible doctor (his spin-the-bottle monologue near the end is gorgeously done). Dated to be certain, but I got many laughs from sad-sack Sheila's predicaments. It's an offbeat, be-true-to-yourself serious-comedy, though hurt overall by a lack of restraint and a jerky narrative. **1/2 from ****
