Barefoot in the Park (1967)

The script is by Neil Simon, so this should be at least decent, right?  It starts off slowly, but once we get to the apartment, the story starts to pick up (I'm guessing because this is where the play actually starts).  Everything is going along well until Mildred Natwick leaves the apartment with Charles Boyer and falls down the front stoop.  Then Redford and Fonda, back in the apartment, go into histrionics and the last 35 minutes of film are nearly unwatchable.  


Not recommended.
