Barefoot in the Park is a 1967 American romantic comedy film directed by Gene Saks from a screenplay by Neil Simon, adapted from his 1963 play of the same name, starring Robert Redford and Jane Fonda as a young newlywed couple. Paul, a conservative lawyer, marries the vivacious Corie, but their highly passionate relationship descends into comical discord in a five-flight New York City walk-up apartment. The supporting cast features Charles Boyer, Mildred Natwick, Herbert Edelman, and Mabel Albertson.

Plot

After a torrid week-long honeymoon at the Plaza Hotel, free-spirited Corie Bratter and husband, Paul, a conservative, uptight young attorney, move into a fifth-floor Greenwich Village apartment which has no elevator. Corie decorates the small, leaky space, turning it into a picturesque home. Among their many eccentric neighbors is the quirky Victor Velasco, who befriends Corie and flirts with her. He lives in the building's attic, so he climbs through the Bratters' window to get to his apartment. He also helps Corie with her place, showing her how to work the heating and plumbing.
