Candice Bergen is T.R. Baskin, a naïve young woman with a droll sense of humor, who ventures from small town Ohio to the bright lights of Chicago in search of an interesting career, intellectual stimulation, true love and happiness... and instead discovers that the urban existence is as unfulfilling and lonely as the one she fled. A tender encounter with one man (James Caan) ends with an unfortunate misunderstanding. However, it leads to a therapeutic Sunday afternoon with a sincere traveling salesman (Peter Boyle), who provides hope and encouragement, as he confides in her about his own insecurities and disappointments. Herbert Ross directs this wryly humorous drama from a perceptive script by Peter Hyams.

Press Quotes
'T.R. Baskin unfurls like an observational novella, with copious dialogue revealing characters' personalities as a larger sketch of city life emerges through the accumulation of detail. Bergen, of course, carries much of the picture on her shoulders, and she's terrific, complementing her innate comic timing with the soulfulness that precious few of her early roles allowed her to display.'
—Peter Hanson, Every '70s Movie
'This film is as trenchant and timely as it was back [in 1971].'
—Richard Winters, Scopophilia
