Finnegan Begin Again is a 1985 American HBO made-for-television romantic comedy film starring Mary Tyler Moore and Robert Preston. The movie was filmed in the Fan District of Richmond, Virginia and premiered on HBO on February 24, 1985 before being released on video. The supporting cast features Sam Waterston and Sylvia Sidney.
Michael Finnegan, a past-his-prime journalist, has been relegated to ghost-writing Dear Felicity, a column for the lovelorn. He and his wife live in a decaying neighborhood; his wife, still despondent over losing their young son, lives in a fantasy world. Despite these reversals, Finnegan retains his optimism: he knows human beings begin again, and again. He gets his own chance to begin again when, one day on the bus, he meets Liz DeHaan, an art teacher who is having an affair with a married man.
