    • Goofs
      Saul's Manhattan condo is just past the east end of East 84th Street and his office is a couple doors off 5th Avenue on East 82nd Street, yet he is shown crossing Park Avenue on East 81st Street, one block further south than the most direct route, meaning he would have to go north a block on Madison Avenue to approach his office as shown. Considering he woke only 65 minutes before arriving at his office and was never shown hurrying through shower, dressing, breakfast or his trek, it's doubtful he would have had time to walk the extra two blocks.

    Wonderful Light hearted Romantic Comedy

    If you are looking for fantasy with a happy ending, this is it.

    The Beautiful Elizabeth Mcgovern and Dudley Moore make a interesting couple.She's ( 5'10')tall, he is short, She has a Mid-West accent and he has a English accent, He's calm and she has anxiety neurosis.They say opposites attract.

    There are some interesting " Freudian Slips " in the movie. Moore's fantasy about being in the late 19th Century, rowing her down the river, and both being attired appropriately ( she is stunning to say the least )is based on the painting in his office.During a Analytic session she puts him into her recollection of a book,because his first name ( Saul ) and the author's first name are the same.Finally, in the beginning of the flick, his friend,Otto goes to cut his cake and puts the knife through his name as the camera records.Otto has a heart attack and dies. It was nice seeing Manhattan of the early 80's.Especially Chloe and Saul walking arm in arm in Central Park Also the soundtrack ( especially the flute )is and very excellent and soothing.
