Some of the best movies are based on plays

If you saw the movie, you can imagine the actors. If you saw the play, you will think of the movie as a pale presentation. However, there is something tangible or tactile about reading the script by Muriel Resnik, with all the descriptions of the people and the environment. Ellen cannot afford her apartment. John Cleves, the married man with whom she has an understanding (every Wednesday), comes up with a scheme to pay for the apartment as a company location for guests. John is very thoughtful. He tells Ellen that He will be getting a divorce. "Now, where have we heard that one before?" And even gives her a diamond bracelet (which happens to have the company logo embedded). The ditsy secretary sends an irate supplier to stay at the guest location as it was designed for. As you can guess, things get convoluted from there. Who gets the girl? Who does the girl want? Does the wife ever get wise? What is the importance of sleeves and balloons?
