“Any Wednesday” is a romantic comedy about a businessman’s secretary who sends her boss’s out of town client to an apartment that she does not know is the residence of his mistress. All sorts of drama and comedy proceed from there, very poorly executed by director Robert Ellis Miller in his motion picture debut. The screenplay by Julius J. Epstein was based on the 1964 Broadway play of the same name by Muriel Resnik.
The cast delivered mediocre performances, especially Jane Fonda as the mistress and Jason Robards as the businessman/boyfriend. The two are not really top-rate performers of comedic material. The supporting cast includes Dean Jones as the visiting client, Rosemary Murphy as the secretary (the only holdover from the stage play), Ann Prentiss, Jack Fletcher, Kelly Jean Peters, Monty Margetts, and Robert “King” Moody as the milkman.
The barely watchable “Any Wednesday” performed poorly at the box office for producer Julius J. Epstein and Warner Bros. Pictures.
