Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaBurt Reynolds once said of his co-star Goldie Hawn in this movie: "Goldie Hawn and I had been talking for five years about doing a movie together. She's someone who makes me laugh. Really laugh. I knew her when she was a dumb blonde and even then she was one of the smartest people I knew" and "We'd meet for dinner and compare notes on the scripts we'd read and liked, but we always ran up against the same problem. The male role always dominated the female character or vice versa. They didn't seem to be writing the kind of give-and-take comedies that Tracy and Hepburn [Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn] or Cary Grant and Jean Arthur used to do."
- GoofsGoldie Hawn mentions Teresa Wright not being on the train in Since You Went Away (1944). It was Jennifer Jones, not Wright.
- Quotes
Paula McCullen: Breasts too large, Richard? Every female character you create has breasts too large.
Richard Babson: Mmm... but I make them suffer for it.

Featured review
A Test Of Love
Writing partners Richard (Burt Reynolds) and Paula (Goldie Hawn) are working on a screenplay. They are also buying a house together. At this critical juncture, they discuss marriage, and they visit their families. With deadlines and familial pressures impacting their relationship, they struggle to maintain the joy.
Reynolds and Hawn are so likable. Both of them can light up the screen with their smiles. And their laughs are infectious. That makes their relationship believable and enjoyable. When they get to the tough times, we want them to get through it.
And that what this film is about. It is not pure comedy, like "Smokey and the Bandit" or "Foul Play". It is more like "The Goodbye Girl". Tracy and Hepburn had some films that fall into this genre slot.
Kudos to the four actors who played the parents: Jessica Tandy, Barnard Hughes, Audra Lindley, and Keenan Wynn.
Reynolds and Hawn are so good together, I am surprised they never co-starred again; perhaps they tried, but never found the vehicle or the time.
