Chapter Two (DVD)

Robert Moore (Murder By Death, The Cheap Detective) takes on another Neil Simon project, this time a tenderly comic look at the impetuous second marriage between a widower and a divorcee. George Schneider (James Caan, The Godfather, Misery) is still grieving over the loss of his first wife when a chance encounter introduces him to Jennie MacLaine (Marsha Mason, The Goodbye Girl, Only When I Laugh), a charming but skeptical actress whose divorce from her first husband is barely finalized. Their whirlwind courtship witnessed by his brother (Joseph Bologna, My Favorite Year) and her best friend (Valerie Harper, TV's "Rhoda"), both disenchanted with their own marital situations concludes with a dreamlike honeymoon, during which George has a monumental attack of guilt and, finally, fear, plunging the newlyweds into uncertainty about whether the ghosts of the past can upend their newfound happiness. Newly remastered.
