It’s 1906 and three couples get together for a countryside weekend in upstate New York. Over the course of the weekend, past romances reignite, new attractions blossom, and multiple secret rendezvous unfold. This short, light, funny, and enjoyable sex comedy is loosely based on Ingmar Bergman's 1955 Smiles of a Summer Night. Mia Farrow makes her first appearance in a Woody Allen film, and Woody himself plays a crackpot inventor.
