...enough to wait until next January in hopes that a new President will take office with the declaration that all aid to Thieu is being cut off. Even if such a President were elected, the calm interim in America would be bought with the limbs and lives of brave Indochinese who refuse to give in to the dictates of an arrogant regime and an intransigent foreign power...
Having reduced Thurber to a my opic misanthrope and the plot to a sentimental muddle, Director Shavelson gets better acting than he deserves. The cast makes a brave fight of it, and there is an especially fine and funny cameo by Herb Edelman, who plays Wilson's agent.

...there any harm in having the two characters meet, especially if it makes for better drama? Unfortunately there is. It was basic to Elizabeth's character and to her politics that she would not and could not see Mary. Brave enough to do anything else-"I am more afraid of making a fault in my Latin," she once said, "than of the kings of Spain, France, Scotland, and the whole House of Guise, and all of their confederates" -she was unequal to the task of confronting the woman she knew she might have to kill...
