Synopsis
Trisha Rawlings (Lily Tomlin) is a wealthy, middle-aged Beverly Hills housewife succumbing to loneliness following a separation from her philandering husband Stu (Bert Kramer). One day, she meets Strip (John Travolta), a street-wise young drifter who develops an infatuation with her, follows her to her Malibu beach home and conveniently appears wherever she goes. Trisha also develops feelings for Strip, although not quite to the degree that he feels for her. She enjoys the moments with him, but the difference in age and class has her feeling a sense of shame about their affair, which threatens to undo the romance that they both seek so desperately to continue, despite the difficulties.Actors

Set some six years after the events of Saturday Night Fever, former disco king Anthony "Tony" Manero is now 25. He has left Brooklyn, and is now living in Manhattan, staying in a flophouse while he works as a dance instructor and as a waiter at a dance club, looking for his big break in the modern dance productions on Broadway. The breakaway he has from his Brooklyn life, family, and friends seems to have matured Tony and refined his personality, specifically represented by his diminished Brooklyn accent and his avoidance of alcohol and profanity. However, certain attitudes have not changed, as with his most recent girlfriend, the forgiving Jackie (Cynthia Rhodes). One attitude he holds consists of a double standard whereby he feels at liberty to see other women, but becomes vexed if he finds Jackie with other men.
