Adapted by John Paxton from Katharine Topkins's 1965 novel of the same title, the film tells the story of an elderly man who leaves his family rather than go to a nursing home, and strikes up a friendship with a pregnant teenage girl. It is Lemmon's only film behind the camera, and partnered him with friend and frequent co-star, Matthau.
