Barbra Streisand returns to the screwball-comedy milieu of
What's Up Doc? in the lightweight
For Pete's Sake. As a Brooklyn hausfrau named Henry (!), our heroine will do anything to help her cabdriver husband Pete (
Michael Sarrazin) get ahead. When Pete begins to play the stock market, Henry borrows three grand from a loan shark, thereby setting off a series of comic catastrophes.
Molly Picon is perfection itself as a money-savvy madam who holds the key to Pete and Henry's happiness and well-being.
For Pete's Sake was originally titled
July Pork Bellies, a curious cognomen that makes perfect sense within the context of the plotline.
