What happens

Heartburn is a 1986 American romantic comedy-drama film produced and directed by Mike Nichols, starring Meryl Streep and Jack Nicholson. The screenplay by Nora Ephron is based on her 1983 novel, a semi-autobiographical account of her marriage to Carl Bernstein. The film marked the debuts of Natasha Lyonne and Kevin Spacey. The song "Coming Around Again" was written and performed by Carly Simon, and became one of her biggest hits. The song reached No. 18 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 5 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart, and was soon followed by the album of the same name. The film was released in the United States on July 25, 1986. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
