Trivia:
Title character's name is based upon an old Scottish song that Robert Preston sings during the movie: “There was a man named Michael Finnigan. He had whiskers on his chin-igan. The wind came up and blew them in-igan. Poor old Michael Finnigan!” He added the "Begin again" at the end of the verse to include the movie title. moreFAQ

Typical Robert Preston acting at his best then add MTM and you have one great movie. Preston seems to be in a rut at work and at home with his ailing wife who is senile and refuses to throw anything. MTM is in almost the same boat but is widowed and having an affair with a funeral parlor owner. And their affair is going nowhere at all. Eventually Robert Preston and MTW meet and start sharing their secrets and lives. Movie is clean and well written, made for both Preston and Moore. The movie touches every nerve in your body with humor, sadness and everything in between. These two old acting pros make this movie shine. Highly recommend seeing it if you can find it. Very rare !
