The last hot lover

Originally titled Last of the Red Hot Lovers, Neil Simon's play was adapted into a screenplay in 1972. Barney Daycash, a middle-aged "fishery" restaurant patron, he decides, for the first time in his life, to cheat on his wife to spice up his monotonous existence. Three adventures, none of them completed, are the subject of this piece, written in 1969 by Neil Simon.
