Bill Manhoff’s 1954 play, adapted here by Buck Henry, has been altered in that, as originally cast, one of the principals was white, the other black (on Broadway, Alan Alda and Diana Sands).

Racial satire, with Beau Bridges as the owner of a run-down tenement where he plans to evict the tenants. Filmed in New York. Mrs. Enders: Lee Grant. Fanny: Diana Sands. Marge: Pearl Bailey.
