This elusive and bitter irony gets misplaced in the shuffle of celebrating Harry's new mellowness. The movie is fixed in an appealing but minor key because it is imbued with the same kind of sentimentality that Harry has used to coddle himself for so long. It also suffers from Art Carney's portrayal of Harry. He is studious and low-keyed, but his characterization lacks depth and misses the urgencies of old age.

The antis were lined up solidly behind a proposal to ban abortion clinics in the city. The defenders of the clinics, some of them Catholics like the Morreales, were led by an outsider, Abortion Advocate William Baird of Long Island. After their baby's baptism was halted, the distraught Morreales called Baird for advice, and he flew to Boston eager for a public showdown. Unfortunately, perhaps, the archdiocese of Boston...
