Storyline
Julie Messinger has it made. She is a New York housewife whose husband, Richard, is an editor for a prominent photography magazine. They have a small circle of friends, including well-meaning, but inept Dr. Timothy Spector, photographer Cal Whiting and Cal's live-in girlfriend Miranda. Julie's mother spends her days getting pedicures and manicures, applying make-up and fake eye-lashes and buying expensive clothes, all the while criticizing her daughter for her looks and behavior. When Richard goes into the hospital for a minor mole-removal surgery, Julie gets more than she bargained for. Richard suffers from complications and goes into a coma, supposedly caused by a rare surgical factor, and she gathers friends and family together, culminating in a hilarious "quasi-cocktail-party" scene in the blood donation center of the hospital. While dealing with red tape, hospital bureaucracy and clueless doctors... Written by thustlebird Plot Summary | Add Synopsis

Did You Know?
Trivia Preminger was signed in a seven-picture deal with Paramount (perhaps the most lucrative director/studio contract up until that time). The deal fizzled directly after this movie's release. This was the fourth picture in that deal. See more ?
Quotes Dr. Timmy Spector: I don't like rodents. I was the only one in my science class who enjoyed seeing mice die. Not out of malice, you understand, but because, to me, it meant one less mouse in the world.

Crazy Credits In the film's opening, three red-colored "legs-crossed icons" (the
trademark that Saul Bass created for the film, as seen on the poster)
converge on a blank screen to form one whole icon. The title appears and
then below the title, it reads "AN OTTO PREMINGER FILM". Cast and crew are
credited in the closing, but nowhere else. Preminger was the only one
credited in the opening. See more ?
