...romantic comedy is a rather modest entertainment, but it forces its star to open up by placing him in a role that demands a generosity of spirit. The character Dreyfuss plays, Elliott Garfield, is a struggling New York actor who is mad for an emotionally battered Broadway dancer (Marsha Mason) who will have nothing to do with him.
