Recently widowed writer James Caan meets recently divorced actress Marsha Mason through a mutual friend. They have a whirlwind romance and wedding. However, Caan falls apart on the honeymoon when he realizes she can't replace his dead wife. Mason shows incredible patience in the first few weeks of their marriage as he works through it. Mason is very good and even the stoic Caan better than expected in an oft-criticized performance. Mason is playing a character based on her real life and written by her real husband, Neil Simon, which adds in interesting angle.
