Plot:
"Last of the Red Hot Lovers" follows the story of Barney Cashman (played by Alan Arkin), a middle-aged, mild-mannered seafood restaurant owner who is going through a midlife crisis. Barney feels unfulfilled and seeks excitement and passion in his life, particularly in the realm of romantic relationships.
Frustrated by his dull marriage and mundane existence, Barney decides to have an extramarital affair. He arranges three separate encounters with three different women in his mother's apartment, with the hope of experiencing the passionate and adventurous love affairs he desires.
The three women he invites into the apartment are Elaine Navazio (played by Sally Kellerman), a brash and aggressive woman; Bobbi Michele (played by Paula Prentiss), an eccentric and quirky actress; and Jeanette Fisher (played by Renee Taylor), a depressive and overly cautious individual.
As Barney's encounters with each woman unfold, they are marked by comedic misunderstandings, awkward moments, and Barney's inability to carry out his desires successfully. Despite his best efforts, he finds that his attempts at infidelity are more complicated and comical than he initially anticipated.
Throughout the film, Barney's character undergoes a transformation as he confronts his own insecurities and reevaluates his priorities and desires. The movie explores themes of love, desire, self-discovery, and the challenges of maintaining meaningful relationships.
Alan Arkin delivers a strong performance as Barney, portraying the character's internal conflicts and comedic mishaps with wit and humor. The film's humor is often derived from the clash of Barney's fantasies with the reality of his situations.
"Last of the Red Hot Lovers" is a character-driven comedy that delves into the complexities of human relationships and the pursuit of passion and excitement. It is notable for its adaptation of Neil Simon's stage play and its exploration of the midlife crisis theme. The film's humor and Arkin's performance make it an entertaining and introspective comedy of its time.
