This film introduces one of John Cheever's favorite themes, the American male's fear of losing his identity. Frustrated at the onset of age, middle-aged executive Cash Bentley attempts to recapture the glories of his college years and his athletic prowess by hurdling the living room furniture. Even a broken leg doesn't serve as a warning ... the moment it is healed hs back to jumping hurdles. His refusal to grow old takes a pathetic turn and the ending is a shocker.
