Synopsis
Trying to make everyone happy can leave you juggling far more than you bargained for, especially when it involves two wives. Blake Edwards' comedy "Micki + Maude" stars Dudley Moore as Rob Salinger, a Los Angeles TV reporter on a lightweight magazine show, whose ambitious wife, Micki (Ann Reinking), a lawyer about to become a judge, has little time for him or for starting a family. Lonely, he falls for Maude (Amy Irving), a lovely, warm-hearted cellist, and when she becomes pregnant, he resolves to divorce Micki and marry her. But just as he's about to break the news, Micki announces that she's pregnant too. Unable to hurt either woman, and pressed by Maude's intimidating, burly father to do the honorable thing, Rob secretly marries Maude, then races frantically between two households, two sets of in-laws and two sets of prenatal appointments, relying on his exasperated best friend and TV executive (Richard Mulligan) to help cover his tracks. The deception becomes harder to maintain with every passing month, and it all comes to a head when both wives go into labor on the same night at the same hospital. Moore won a Golden Globe for his frantic, endearing performance.
