2. Last of the Red Hot Lovers

Barney Cashman is a successful New York seafood restaurateur. A “nice,” quiet guy, leading a “nice,” quiet life, with the same “nice,” quiet wife he has been married and faithful to for the last twenty-three years. So what could possibly be wrong? It’s the 1960s! And a recent midlife crisis has caused him to become afraid that the sexual revolution is passing him by. Determined to experience for one afternoon a memorable, romantic encounter before he dies, Barney spends the next nine months inviting three different women to his mother’s Manhattan apartment in an attempt to have an extramarital affair. He soon discovers, however, that having an affair is much easier said than done.
