Two for the Seesaw

Two for the Seesaw (1962)

A square from Nebraska? An off-beatnik from Greenwich Village? It just didn't figure ... that they would ... that they could ... that they did!

After leaving his wife, lawyer Jerry Ryan moves from Omaha, Nebraska to New York City to start a new life. While studying for the New York Bar Examination and working to finalize his divorce, Ryan meets dancer Gittel Mosca, and the two begin a cautious courtship. However, Ryan feels that he must come to terms with his failed marriage and overcome his lingering attachment to his ex-wife before he can redefine himself and embrace his budding romance.
