Lunch hour

by Jean Kerr

Never has Jean Kerr's wit had a keener edge or her comic sense more peaks of merriment than in this clever confection which starred Gilda Radner and Sam Waterston on Broadway as a pair whose spouses are having an affair. They counter by "inventing" an affair of their own. He, ironically, is a marriage counselor and a bit stodgy while his wife easily juggles husband, lover, and mother. The other is a kook married to a wealthy man. All ends well for this daffy foursome.
