"The filmakers had initially wanted Diane Keaton and Goldie Hawn to play the roles of Roberta and Susan"

Just a film?

To me this product appears as a comedy. It#s the play style and the story either, that leads me to this conclusion.May be somebody changes at the page.--Danaide (talk) 12:51, 5 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Plot problem

the 1st sentence in the 4th paragraph of the plot section starts out with "Believing she must be Susan, Roberta retraces Susan's steps..."

its makes absolutely no sense because she has lost her memory due to a knock on the head and there is nothing telling the reader why she would have any idea who susan is to even begin to mistake her own identity (which she has forgotten) with susan's (which she has also forgotten.

i havent seen the film but there must be some form of plot device that allows roberta to believe her name is susan. it really just makes no sense the way it is written.

it also looks like there are 2 other discussion topics that have been ignored on this films talk page.

is wikipedia really in such a sad state of affairs as this? Snarevox (talk) 17:12, 6 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

please disregard the mistaken identity problem above. after rereading the 3rd paragraph, i have convinced myself that it is good enough. Snarevox (talk) 17:15, 6 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
