Streisand and George Segal are prostitute and author, unlikely u and unexpected roommates by accident. bickering, arguing. abusive, racist, foul-mouthed cussing Doris (Streisand) is wide awake, probably from tweaking, and can't stop talking. poor Felix just wants to go to sleep, but Doris won't shut up. and she's so fired up, she gets them evicted from Felix's apartment, so they end up at his friend's place (Robert Klein). more talking. in her shrill, annoying loud voice. and yakkity yak about nothing in particular. they stumble all over town, embarrass themselves, and have silly adventures that could only happen in NYC ! kind of a fun, weekend ramble. directed by Herb Ross. he had directed some biggies... Goodbye Girl, Goodbye Mr. Chips, Footloose, Pennies From Heaven, Steel Magnolias. written by Bill Manhoff, who did mostly television.
