What’s it all about: Christopher Reeve and Dyan Cannon have a cable-knit sweater competition during a cut-throat visit to the Hamptons.
First Encounter: HBO in the 80s; guest viewer Saul Ulerio
Prostitute Index: nil

Makes me want to: go outside. The one drawback to watching this one during a pandemic is that it’s set almost entirely in the same room.
