A witty, deftly penned farce about working wife Leigh, whose cold-water-flat existence with husband Johnson, an unemployed novelist, becomes less than idyllic when his first novel scores a great success. The
nouveau riche writer has his once-happy wife resign her job, and they move from
New York City to a fashionable Connecticut exurb. With his sexy agent, Hyer, he goes to the Great White Way to adapt his novel to the stage, while Leigh idles her time away with the bibulous Winters and her weird boy friend, Walston, her new neighbors. As Johnson spends more and more time with
Hyer, his jealous, disaffected wife encourages the amorous advances of actor Slate....
