Reason numero uno for me try this one is Barbra Streisand, and even more so since she was supposed to go topless (in my version I did not catch her topless - and I think I was paying attention well enough). And there were no other reasons, really. This sort of romantic comedy does not appeal to me particularly, but 'The owl and the pussycat' really wasn't bad, at all. It was suggested that 'Pretty woman', a film that used to like but now would not soon choose to watch again, could have been based on this, but that seems a stretch to me.
The story here is a stretch, too, but I suppose it's fun enough and has some decent and more serious issues in there, as well. Barbra does a very good job, as does George Sagal, but them ending up together seems a bit unrealistic.
