Heartburn
1986, English. 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.
