The Last Fling

The Last Fling is a 1987 American made-for-television romantic comedy film directed by Corey Allen, written by Mitchel Katlin, and starring John Ritter and Connie Sellecca.

Divorce attorney Phillip Reed is tired of one-night stands, like Joanne. He commiserates to happy couple, Linda and Jack, the lack of romance in his life.

At a Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum football game, Gloria Franklin, marrying in two weeks, finds out her fiancé Jason is going to Vegas for a bachelor party weekend. She is unhappy that he has avoided mentioning it and that he is dismissive of a one last fling by her.

At the Los Angeles Zoo Gloria meets Phillip, but calls herself Marsha Lyons, seeing and hearing a lion. They get acquainted, and Gloria/Marsha promises to call Phillip. She tries to tells him she's engaged, but doesn't.

At work Phillip listens to Fields describe his marriage failure. Phillip leaves the office with his workmate Drew and talks about Gloria/Marsha. Phillip bumps into Joanne, a woman he saw casually, and breaks it off.

Gloria/Marsha's friend Mimi encourages her to call Phillip. After her call to Jason in Las Vegas is answered by another woman, (shown topless without evidence of clothing, then Phillip rushing out of his hotel shower), Gloria/Marsha, feeling betrayed, calls Phillip and asks him to her family's beach house in Acapulco, leaving early Saturday morning.

After Phillip and Gloria/Marsha's Acapulco rental car catches fire, they hitch a ride with in a flat bed truck with others, dancing to Bob Seger's Katmandu, and arrive at the beach house. They dine, dance, and bed together. On Sunday morning, Phillip finds Gloria/Marsha's videotape that reveals she is marrying the next week.

On Monday, Phillip goes to work, telling Drew and Beverly what happened. Drew points how difficult it could be to locate her in only a week. Gloria is with Mimi, who is gushing over the wedding dress. Gloria is distraught, and when pressed as to why, instead of mentioning Phillip laments over how predictable and dull their life will be.
