Robert Redford and Jane Fonda star in this one as a widow and widower who have lived next door to each other for years, but who one day decide to alleviate their shared loneliness by sleeping together – and by “sleeping together,” we mean just that: sharing a bed. Needless to say, the platonic element of their relationship doesn’t last long.
