Recent divorcee Glenda Jackson keeps meeting businessman Geoge Segal in a series of contrived coincidences. She agrees to his not-so-subtle suggestions to begin an affair despite being married. After an aborted comical attempt in a run down London hotel, she demands more swank surroundings. He makes reservations for a week in sunny Spain, but his nosy coworker keeps getting in the way. Eventually they arrive at their new hotel and overcome their differences. A week later, they are back in London and decide to rent an apartment to keep the affair going. More comical situations ensue, but eventually she wants more and becomes jealous of his wife. Dated fluff, with good performance by Jackson, so-so by Segal.
