Second-Hand Hearts is a 1981 American comedy film directed by Hal Ashby from a screenplay by Charles Eastman.
The film stars Barbara Harris as a manic, mercurial widow separated from her three children, and Robert Blake as an insecure loner who inadvertently marries her after the two of them go on a drunken bender.
The filming was plagued by trouble throughout production, much stemming from the erratic behavior of Ashby and writer Eastman.
This prompted Robert Blake, during one of his frequent guest appearances on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, to publicly complain about this decision; he presented a clip and tried to increase interest in the film.
However, the New York/Los Angeles release received mostly negative reviews, and Paramount stood by its decision to not expand it to other cities.
