Only with Married Men

This seems to be fundamentally a television situation comedy expanded in length and without a laugh track, utilizing a somewhat thin premise for a plot, with the cast in the main being a group of TV regulars introduced at the beginning with mugging lead-ins. The script tells of Jill Garrett (Michele Lee), an unmarried interior designer who has been consistently disappointed in her relationships with single men, thereupon deciding to date only those married, and of David Andrews (David Birney), a playboy attorney who pretends to be wed in order to win Jill's favours, and of the comedic events that ensue. Supporting this pair are Dom DeLuise as David's married law partner Murray, who "loans" the young rake his family, Gavin MacLeod as Jill's effeminate and protective business partner skeptical of David's advances, John Astin playing a psychiatrist friend of David, and chirpy Judy Carne as Murray's wife. Although the episodic picture moves at a brisk pace, there is little real direction, only DeLuise occasionally scoring with a humorous line, and the jazzy score is irksome at best, yet the cast seems to be enjoying its routine efforts, despite providing for its audience much to forget.

This inane entry has designer Michele Lee dating only married men so she won't get involved. She meets lawyer David Birney (as a client) and of course tells him this (who wouldn't?) so he pretends to be married so he can date her.

It's like an episode from Love Boat and even has Gavin MacLeod (in a toupe) as Lee's gay co-designer. Birney then forces his law partner (Dom DeLuise) to claim that his wife (Judy Carne) and kids are his. The merry mix-up also involves his psychiatrist (John Astin). Everyone goes along with the gag but (what a surprise) Lee knows from the get-go Birney's not married but enjoys seeing them all go through with the charade. What a hoot. The only one who raises a chuckle is DeLuise.
