Beyond Therapy is a 1987 American comedy film.
Contents |
Based on the play of the same title by Christopher Durang, it focuses on Prudence and Bruce, two Manhattanites who are seeking stable romantic relationships with the help of their respective psychiatrists, lecherous Stuart and scatterbrained Charlotte, each of whom suggests the patient place a personal ad. Their first meeting proves to be a disaster, but when they reunite sparks begin to fly. Complications ensue when bisexual Bruce's jealous live-in lover Bob decides to assert himself and do everything possible to maintain his status quo.
Despite its New York City setting, the film was made in Paris, where director Robert Altman was living at the time.
Durang's screenplay was rewritten substantially by Altman. The film was a critical and commercial failure, and Durang later described the project as "a very unhappy experience and outcome." [1]
