Micki + Maude (1984) is a comedy film directed by Blake Edwards and starring Dudley Moore. It co-stars Tony-award winning actress and dancer Ann Reinking as Micki and Amy Irving as Maude.
In 1985, Moore won the Golden Globe award for Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture - Comedy/Musical. The film was also Golden Globe-nominated for Best Motion Picture - Comedy/Musical.
With the exception of appearances as herself, as in the documentary Mad Hot Ballroom in 2005, this was Reinking's last film role.
This movie co-stars Wallace Shawn and includes a brief glimpse of wrestler André the Giant. However, unlike their later roles in The Princess Bride, the two do not have any scenes together.
[edit] Plot
Rob Salinger is an overworked television reporter. He is happily married to Micki, a lawyer who is a candidate to become a judge, but she has been unable to bear a child and Rob wants one badly.
On an assignment, Rob interviews a young musician named Maude and is smitten by her. Maude, a cellist, has no idea he is married. They begin seeing one another and, when she becomes pregnant, Maude and her professional wrestler father begin to plan her wedding.
Prepared to face the music, confess to Micki and agree to a divorce, Rob is stunned when she reveals that she, too, is going to give birth.
Rob becomes a bigamist. With his television boss Leo covering for him, he sees one wife during the daytime and the other at night, using work as an excuse.
He gets away with it until the fates collide, Micki and Maude going into labor at the same hospital on the same floor at the same time.
The two women end up becoming friends, but they ban Rob from their lives as well as the lives of his new children. Rob follows them around, spying on both families from a distance.
