Tonight starring
Walter Matthau , Anne Jackson
Connecticut housewife Victoria Layton feels that her routine life and staid marriage are making her boring and unattractive - something which is compounded by the delivery boy failing to notice she is naked when he brings the groceries. Discovering that her husband occasionally procures 100-dollar call-girls for a famous movie star she decides to enjoy herself and increase her pocket money - with both moving and richly comic results.
