the plot: Eileen is 22 and is smarting from her breakup with Russ. She comes to New York to visit her brother, Adam, who is an airline pilot. Eileen decides to see if she can have some fun for herself in New York, and seems to find the perfect candidate in Mike, a man she meets on the bus. But things get complicated when Russ pops in with a proposal and a mistaken assumption.
don't miss: Robert Culp as the obtuse Russ - quite a switch from his savvy role in I Spy.
watch for: how Eileen "snags" Mike on the 5th Avenue bus.
count: how many missed connections occur between Adam and his girlfriend.
also don't miss: dinner with Eileen, Russ, Mike (who Russ think's is Andy, her brother), and Andy (who Russ thinks is Mike).
