A wacky inventor (Woody Allen) and his wife (Mary Steenburgen) invite two other couples for a weekend party at a romantic summer house in the 1900s countryside.
This was the first of thirteen movies that Allen would make starring Mia Farrow, and quite possibly the worst. Farrow was nominated for a Razzie Award, making this the only Allen film to get any such nomination. Indeed, Farrow is terrible here, and it seems bizarre that she is the object of more than one character's affections. Steenburgen, on the other hand, is quite charming and is given an unfortunate role.
This is one of Allen's lesser works, and definitely not a financial success. But it is not without its merits. The characters (other than Farrow) are good fun, and there is plenty of that classic intellectual fodder Allen loves to have his characters spout.
