Noise going back and forth through the paper-thin walls eventually introduces her to her handsome young neighbor Don Baker (Edward Albert, son of veteran actor Eddie Albert). Don, as it happens, is blind. The reason that he is living in the ratty apartment building is that he is trying to live on his own and establish his independence. Don and Jill hit it off immediately and within a day are having sex and lounging about in their underwear in Don's apartment.Enter the complication in the form of Don's mother (Eileen Heckart). Mrs. Baker is wealthy (she writes children's books) and overprotective. She doesn't approve of Don's apartment, or his hopes to be a Blind Musician, or his association with the wild and kind of slutty Jill. Mrs. Baker's determination to bring Don home threatens to wreck the budding romance of the two young people.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })An adaptation of a 1969 stage play.
