Full Plot Details

New Yorkers Paul Bratter and Corie Bratter née Banks have just gotten married. He is a stuffed shirt just starting his career as a lawyer. She is an independently minded free spirit who prides herself on doing the illogical purely out of a sense of adventure, such acts as walking through Washington Square Park barefoot when it's 17°F outside. Their six day honeymoon at the Plaza Hotel shows that they can get to know each other easily in the biblical sense. But they will see if they can get to know each other in their real life when they move into their first apartment, a cozy (in other words, small), slightly broken down top floor unit in a five story walk-up. While Corie joyfully bounds up and down the stairs, Paul, always winded after the fact, hates the fact of having to walk up the six flights of stairs, if one includes the stairs that comprise the outside front stoop. Beyond the issues with the apartment itself, Paul and Corie will have to deal with an odd assortment of neighbors, most specifically eccentric senior Victor Velasco, who lives in the unusual attic and who would like to consider himself a dirty old man. Corie, worried about her single straight-laced mother Ethel Banks, wants to set her up with Victor. Without Corie or Paul truly realizing it, Ethel and Victor as a twosome is as illogical as Corie and Paul. What happens between Ethel and Victor may be a predictor if Corie and Paul's marriage can make it in the long run.

Movie Reviews

Common Sense Media - 8/10 by Andrea BeachCute, funny romance OK for kids, will appeal more to teens.
Radio Times - 8/10 by Jo BerryIt's handled well by director Gene Saks (he also made The Odd Couple), who keeps the humour flowing and maintains a lively pace until about half an hour from the end.
Variety - 8/10 by Variety StaffBarefoot in the Park is one howl of a picture.
Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 8/10 by Dennis SchwartzSaved only by the spirited performances of the four stars.
Chicago Reader - 8/10 by Dave KehrNothing special, but it's a decent example of a vanished genre—the small character comedy.
Video-Reviewmaster.com - 8/10 by Steve CrumDated yes, but still joy to see Redford and Fonda early in careers.
Cinema Crazed - 7/10 by Felix Vasquez Jr.A laugh out loud and sweet comedy about marriage and how daunting the future can be.
The New Yorker - 6/10 by Pauline KaelGene Saks, directing his first movie, has paced it so unevenly and allowed such glaring mismatches of scenic backgrounds and even of gag sequences that it looks as though his costly picture was made by people who didn't know their way around.
BBC.com - 6/10 by Almar HaflidasonIt's hardly a strong plot for a movie, but Neil Simon inserts just enough sparkling dialogue into this adaptation of his Broadway hit, to keep boredom from ruining this kooky film.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) - 6/10 by Ken HankeEnjoyable star comedy version of the play.
