Storyline
Featured review
Successful fashion designer Dyan Cannon is a bicoastal bigamist who wonders if she can have her cake and eat it too; seems she has one husband on the East Coast (suit-and-tie type Barry Newman) and another on the West Coast (hirsute comic strip artist Hart Bochner). Both men adore her, but how long will it be before one spouse finds out about the other? It's not a suspenseful plot conceit, but it's at least a marginally enjoyable one, with Cannon juggling her schedules like a mad woman. The opening montage looks like an '80s TV commercial (what with Dyan staring out her limousine window at the Manhattan skyline like a tourist, and later riding a horse through Central Park), but the cast is a good one, including Sylvia Sidney as Cannon's mink coat-wearing mama. Miles Goodman's music sounds like the worst of "Heaven Can Wait" and "Tootsie", and the cinematography from Michael D. Margulies isn't flattering (particularly to Newman, who looks cadaverous). Cannon keeps her spirits up, and has some funny business at the airport changing outfits and also at two different Thanksgiving dinners. Released theatrically overseas as "A Husband on Every Coast". ** from ****
