Last of the red hot lovers

the long version

Last of the Red Hot Lovers is one of the most amusing of Neil Simon?s comedies. It focuses on Barney Cashman, a forty-seven-year-old owner of a seafood restaurant who is afraid that the sexual revolution of the 1960?s is passing him by. Over the space of nine months, he invites three different women to his mother?s Manhattan apartment in an attempt to have an afternoon of extramarital sex. None of the affairs is consummated, however, and Barney decides after the last one that he would prefer a romantic afternoon with his wife, Thelma.
