The War Between Men and Women is a comedy film starring Jack Lemmon, Barbara Harris, and Jason Robards. It is based on the writings of humorist James Thurber, and was released in 1972 by Cinema Center Films. Like many other films in the Cinema Center catalog, it has long been unavailable on home video, with the exception of a brief release on VHS in 2000. Nonetheless, it has been shown on television.

The film was directed by Melville Shavelson, creator of the 1969 Thurber-based television series My World and Welcome to It. The screenplay was by Shavelson and by Danny Arnold, who also worked on the 1969 series. Arnold is best known for his later television series, Barney Miller. Lisa Gerritsen, who plays Linda Kozlenko in the film, previously co-starred in My World and Welcome to It as Lydia Monroe.

Two quirky Manhattanites crash into each other cute at an ophthalmologist's office. Peter (Jack Lemmon) is a grouchy cartoonist/author whose vision is failing, divorced mother Theresa (Barbara Harris) is also reluctant to plunge into a relationship right now. It's not love at first sight - both have their eyes dilated, plus Peter constantly lampoons women in his work, which book seller Theresa knows well. Loosely based on James Thurber's drawings "The War Between Men & Women," and Thurber's life, the film features animated sequences as did the earlier TV series "My World and Welcome to It," by the same director and writer, also depicting a Thurberesque world.
