Heartburn 1986 Directed by Mike Nichols

Sex. Love. Marriage. Some people don't know when to quit.

She's a magazine writer who gives up her career for love and family. He's a playboy newspaper columnist who can't quite give up his old tricks. And if that combination doesn't give a relationship heartburn, nothing will.
