It’s 9 November 1965 and New York is having one of its largest blackouts leaving millions of Americans in the dark. This includes a New York executive (Zirrer) who is in the process of stealing a fortune from his company. Destinies take their course because of the outage with a Broadway actress (Garrison) and her husband finding themselves in the exec’s world. Some refer to this as a “misguided comedy”. The truth is it did little to reverse the critical and commercial downturn of Doris’s movie career during this period.
