Anyone can be a father. But not every father deserves a standing ovation.
Directed by Arthur Hiller
Produced by 20th Century Fox
A warm-hearted comedy-drama about a harried playwright learning to balance artistic ambition with fatherhood and family responsibility.
A broadway playwright is burning the candle at both ends. He is dealing with pressure from a production nearing premiere, a wife who is leaving him, and 5 children 4 of which belong to her.
