It Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time

“A gilt-edged wacky comedy”

★ 3.3/10 TMDB 1975-09-11 90 min

Sweeney is a playwright on a career decline. He spends much of his time wheedling money and beer out of his artistic friend Moriarty. One of his few highlights is weekly sex with his ex-wife Georgia. She is remarried to a rich but vile construction developer, but Sweeney and Gorgina are still in love.
