Un couple presque parfait

Here's a film that asks, "Can't gays and straights just get along...and raise a child?" Best friends Abbie and Robert do just that until Abbie decides she wants to move to New York with her new boyfriend and their son. Naturally, Robert sues for custody. It proved to be Schlesinger's final film.
