Woody Allen brings a diverting whimsy and a hopeful innocence to this period roundelay, based upon
Ingmar Bergman's
Smiles of a Summer's Night and
Jean Renoir's
Rules of the Game. Allen plays Andrew, a Wall Street broker and eccentric inventor who is having frigidity problems with his wife Adrian (
Mary Steenburgen). Adrian and Andrew are the hosts, at their summer house in the country, of a wedding party for Ariel (
Mia Farrow) and Leopold (
Jose Ferrer), a famed academic who is Andrew's cousin. Over the weekend, another couple converges at Andrew's summer home -- the sly, lady-killer of a doctor Maxwell (
Tony Roberts) and his date, the deliciously ditzy nurse Dulcy (
Julie Hagerty). Through the course of the weekend, sexual partners are exchanged and magical fairy tale moments are shared.
