Local TV reporter Rob Salinger (Dudley Moore) is married to Micki (Ann Reinking) who is trying to be a high power judge. He wants to have children but she wants to hold off. He is sent to do a piece on concert cellist Maude Guillory (Amy Irving). He has an affair with her and she gets pregnant. He is about to ask Micki for a divorce when she tells him that she's pregnant. He doesn't divorce Micki and marries Maude anyways. Only his boss Leo (Richard Mulligan) knows the truth as Rob tries to live his double lives.
Director Blake Edwards sometimes try to make his cheating protagonists appealing. It's not appealing and I don't like Rob in this movie. He's trying to get points for marrying both women but it's his cheating that started the whole thing. It's not fun. There isn't much screwball humor until the hospital. By then, I only really like Amy Irving.
