situation like that? Well, the truth is that Ellen

trick in the book to get her ex-husband back. The
results are complicated, confusing and downright
hilarious in this comedy also starring Hal Linden
and
Marcia Rodd

ex-husband is dating a woman with the body of a pin-up
girl and the intelligence of a grapefruit. So she
decides to somehow win him back. Ellen's best friend,
Eve (Marcia Rodd), advises her that the only method
that will work is to make Carter jealous. Her first
choice of weapons turns out to be Tony (Hal Linden), a
handsome man-about-town. But will any of Ellen's
outrageous ploys succeed in arousing Carter's jealousy?
Or will she find that she has new feelings for Tony?
There is only one way to find out!
