Plot Sypnosis:

*This listing is for the standard edition version and does NOT come with a limited edition slipcase!*

Barney Cashman (Alan Arkin, The In-Laws), a middle-aged seafood restaurant owner in an unhappy marriage, realizes that his mother’s apartment will be vacant one afternoon each week, spurring numerous raucous attempts at seduction. In his consistently comedic quest to be a “red hot lover,” Cashman makes various discoveries about himself and, subsequently, the woman he pledged fidelity to.

Based on revered American playwright Neil Simon’s (The Odd Couple, Barefoot In the Park) play of the same name, LAST OF THE RED HOT LOVERS was adapted for the screen by Simon himself and directed by frequent stage and screen collaborator Gene Saks (The Odd Couple, play and film). Featuring a delightfully manic lead performance by Arkin and a gifted ensemble cast including Sally Kellerman (M*A*S*H), Paula Prentiss (The Stepford Wives) and Renée Taylor (A New Leaf), Cinématographe is proud to present this often overlooked entry in the careers of Neil Simon, Gene Saks and Alan Arkin in a new 4K restoration from its original camera negative, making its world blu-ray debut!
