...CLOCK): That about wraps it up. I want to thank Dick Cavett for being our guest this evening . . . (SUDDENLY THE STAGE MANAGER PRODUCES A HASTILY MADE CUE CARD; THERE'S NO RECOURSE EXCEPT TO READ IT.)Tomorrow my guests will be Greta Howard Hughes, Charlie Chaplin ?and Bozo, the Wonder Chimp! [Applause and laughter.] Say good night, Dick...
...hears the dire tidings. The illiterate Italian piety of Phil (John Marley) also deepens the gloom and proves the movies has at least one ethnic. But it is Ryan O'Neal who has been plucking the heartstrings and pursestrings of the ladies of America. Alas, his much discussed son Bozo turns out to be a cruel mirage, a common enough sexual predicament in modern drama.

Tom Garrison (Melvyn Douglas) is a Westchester County octogenarian Babbitt who fulminates against "some damned savage who will walk off with the luggage" at Kennedy Airport and complains to a fellow Rotarian about "some bozo who has been crowding into our pew at church." As a child he worshiped his mother and despised his father; naturally his middle-aged son (Gene Hackman) feels the same way. The two clash openly-and obviously-when Gene's garden-club-variety mother dies. Sensitive son mourns while...
