 Two quirky Manhattanites crash into each other cute at an ophthalmologist s office. Peter (Jack Lemmon) is a grouchy cartoonist/author whose vision is failing, divorced mother Theresa (Barbara Harris) is also reluctant to plunge into a relationship right now. It s not love at first sight - both have their eyes dilated, plus Peter constantly lampoons women in his work, which book seller Theresa knows well. Loosely based on James Thurber s drawings "The War Between Men & Women," and Thurber s life, the film features animated sequences as did the earlier TV series "My World and Welcome to It," by the same director and writer, also depicting a Thurberesque world.
