Two for the Seesaw

Shirley MacLaine is Gittel, an eccentric dancer from the Bronx, and Robert Mitchum is Jerry, a midwestern lawyer whose marriage is on the rocks, in TWO FOR THE SEESAW. Gittel and Jerry meet in Manhattan, where Jerry has headed for a new life when his old one falls apart. There he meets an old friend, Oscar (Eddie Firestone), who invites him to a swinging Greenwich Village party where he meets the charming bohemian Gittel. The two hit it off, if only physically at first, and begin an affair. There are several factors conspiring against their relationship besides their differences in backgrounds--for one, Jerry is still depressed about his ex-wife and the loss of his former life.
