A moderately successful rom-com that reminded various reviewers of a typical Neil Simon play. It became a regular visitor at stock and dinner theatres for years. Its simple situation involves an attractive man, Paul Friedman (Jerry Orbach), and woman, Anne Miller (Jane Alexander), each married to someone else, who meet while examining an Upper West Side apartment for rent. They get locked in by accident when the super (Joe Ocasio) removes the doorknob, thinking the place empty. Naturally, they fall for each other, but eventually decide to return to their respective spouses. Jane Alexander, Ron Harper, Jennifer Warren, Jerry Orbach. The strange title refers to the abbreviated real estate listing of the sort then common in newspapers (six rooms, river view). Bob Randall’s comedy had many funny gag lines, but most critics found it eventually grew tiresome, lacking enough wit and invention to keep the plot’s wheels turning for very long. Jerry Orbach. The characters were “unbearably dull” to Douglas Watt, and T.E. Kalem found them, like the play, somewhat undernourished. Cast members included Ron Harper as Anne’s husband, Jennifer Warren as Paul’s wife, and, in the brief role of “Expectant Father,” F. Murray Abraham. The 1974 TV movie starred Carol Burnett and Alan Alda. Francine Beers, Jerry Orbach. Despite its slightness, Richard Watts liked the play’s “humor, freshness, and charm,” and Martin Gottfried believed it a “perfectly charming entertainment, sexy, romantic and funny.” For most, Orbach and Alexander provided just the right touches to help the piece keep its head above water for the better part of the season. Clive Barnes captured their contributions: Alexander received a Tony nomination, Randall got a Drama Desk Award as Most Promising Playwright, and Jennifer Warren won a Theatre World Award. Stage Struck Review. “6 Rms Riv Vu” in Sierra Madre: a classic comedy brings modern insights. Jeremy Guskin (l.) and Lena Bouton (r.) deal with Lynndi Scott as the lady across the hall in “6 Rms Riv Vu” in Sierra Madre [photo: Gina Long] As example, the production of “6 Rms Riv Vu”, Bob Randall’s Tony-winning play from 1972. Now in a fine production at Sierra Madre Playhouse, it looks back at the people whose lives overlapped the societal mores of two distinct periods, who are thus forced to find balance in the midst of very mixed messages. As ethical values continue to shift today, it offers a chance to stop and think. The play – most definitely a comedy – centers on two people, Anne Miller and Paul Friedman, who find themselves locked in a rent-controlled New York apartment they’ve both been sent by spouses to check out and possibly rent. As time passes, they begin to share vulnerabilities: their sense of incompleteness in their married lives, their sense of disquiet at their own lack of adventure, and fairly soon their mutual attraction. What makes the play worth watching is what they do with the information they glean, as played out by a somewhat young, but interesting cast. Jeremy Guskin feels natural as Paul: a bit geeky, a bit henpecked, a bit startled by his own bravado. Lena Bouton brings to Anne that settled housewife aura, but with the undercurrent of resistance to patronization and frustration at her own “goodness” showing through. Lynndi Scott all but steals the show as the obtuse lady across the hall. Bob Rodriguez gives the perfect “operating on autopilot” maintenance man – the instigator of the leads getting stuck in the first place. In cameo roles, Kristin Towers-Rowles vibrates with energy as Paul’s feminist wife, Craig EcEldowney hums with paternalistic attitude as Anne’s businessman husband, and Jull Maglione and Albert Garnica provide the play’s bookends as an expectant couple also checking out the apartment. Director Sherri Lofton gives the play a relaxed, yet intense pacing and enough movement to keep an essentially two-person piece from devolving into a static debate. John Vertrees’ set design makes the small SMP stage look like a reasonably-sized apartment, which is quite a feat. The costuming by Naila Aladdin Sanders pretty much nails the polyester double-knit look of the era. The authenticity greatly enhances the experience. As a result, “6 Rms Riv Vu” has much to recommend it: it’s funny, well acted, well produced, and has something quite specific to say, which is still worth listening to. It’s also funny in the way of the best comedies of that era: jokes at just the time when the tale would otherwise become painful, yet still making a “truth” available under the laughter. This is the start of a new era for the Sierra Madre Playhouse, as they embrace a new board and a new artistic director. The focus is obviously quality, and the shaking off of the “community theater” label. So far, so good. 6 Rms Riv Vu. 6 Rms Riv Vu is a television film based on Bob Randall's play of the same name.

It closed after 247 performances whereupon CBS acquired the rights to tape it for television.

Burnett and Alda both received Emmy nominations…and that’s about it for this one. Two Top Bananas. Don Rickles and Don Adams star in one of several early Showtime specials that tried to capture the look and feel of a classic burlesque show with old routines and older strippers. This may also have been the first made-for-cable TV show to be released on home video. I still have a Beta copy of it somewhere. Telly – Who Loves Ya, Baby? This isn’t a very good scan but then, it wasn’t a very good show. In the midst of his success as Kojak , Telly Savalas somehow decided he wanted to be Frank Sinatra. One year, he got the producers of the Academy Awards to let him sing one of the nominated songs, which he attempted to do while smoking a cigarette, a la Sinatra. Unfortunately, he also decided to pre-record his vocal and hadn’t quite mastered the knack of taking a puff between lines of the song and getting his mouth clear to lip-sync the next line. For weeks after, Johnny Carson did jokes about Telly not being able to smoke and lip-sync at the same time. Since Savalas was a CBS star, they had to let him do his own variety special, which went much the same way. Note the line which says, “Audience will be seen on camera. Please dress accordingly.” What that usually means is that the pages get instructed to seat the best-dressed folks up front, or in the section on which the cameras will be trained…and everyone from about the third row back will be dressed like they’re shopping at Target.
