Barefoot in the Park feature film, starring Robert Redford and Jane Fonda, directed by Gene Saks. A television series based on the play began on ABC in September 1970.

In post-production, Losey and his team found the film had been recut during the weekend without their consultation; Losey and Robert Hakim almost came to blows. Michel Legrand
