Playwright Travalian feels pulled limb from limb these days. He has a Broadway play in rehearsal and they want rewrites. His tramp wife is leaving him, leaving him as well with four children from her previous marriages plus his own son. And his lead actress wants to move in with him but isn't used to kids.Written by

Not the best of Al Pacino's films but certainly worth watching as he gives a very convincing performance.(what else can you expect of one of the two greatest actors ever)Pacino has to do it on his own though. The story is not really catching and his fellow actors are rather boring. A must see though just because of Pacino's play.
