The legendary Katharine Hepburn casts a long shadow over James Prideaux's lightweight tale of sense and celebrity. Best-selling author Laura Lansing (Katharine Hepburn) rubs shoulders with the rich and famous, which may be why her Manhattan publisher, Larry Baumgartner (Lee Richardson), worries that Laura has lost touch with her great unwashed public.

Each of Katharine Hepburn's 1980s TV movies was heralded as the lady's last-ever appearance. We are fortunate indeed that she didn't choose the minor-league Laura Lansing Slept Here as her valedictory film. Ms. Hepburn more or less plays herself as a celebrated, pampered novelist who accepts the wager that she can't survive a week living with "just folks."
