They both compete for Susan (Candice Bergen), and Sandy marries her in what turns out to be an unsuccessful marriage. Ten years later, Jonathan is unhappily married to Bobbie (Ann-Margret). Now it is the 1960s, and Sandy is with hippie girlfriend Jennifer (Carol Kane), while Jonathan is again single. Sandy's question: "If you had the choice...would you rather love a girl or have her love you?" is still a puzzlement for both. The film made a name for Ann-Margret who won an Oscar nomination for her role as Bobbie.
