Author and filmmaker Doris Dörrie received international attention for this lively sex farce, underwritten by a decidedly feminist dimension. The story revolves around a successful middle-aged businessman who leaves his wife after she confesses to an affair. In an attempt at retribution, he moves in with her lover and insinuates himself into the new roommate’s low-achieving life. Through delicious plot complications and an unerring eye for the ironies of daily life, Dörrie creates a finely wrought contemporary comedy of manners worthy of the cinema of Lubitsch.
