• Micki and Maude

A NEW COMEDY FROM THE DIRECTOR AND STAR WHO BROUGHT YOU "10"
DUDLEY MOORE is back and as cuddly as ever in this new, bubbling comedy directed by BLAKE EDWARDS. In the role of Rob Salinger, a TV newsman, he is happily married to Micki, a lawyer, and having an affair with Maude, a concert cellist. Micki wants a career. Maude wants a husband. Rob wants to be a father. And everything happens at once. Rob finds himself a bigamist with two pregnant wives to love and look after - simultaneously! All the normal conventions of suburban behaviour, sexual politics and legal nicety are thrown out of the window as Rob strives desperately and hilariously to make sure both his women stay happy, cared for and unaware of each other during a long, long nine months. This film, brilliantly written by Jonathan Reynolds, carries on the great Dudley Moore-Blake Edwards teaming that made the world laugh in '10'.
