...Korean navy band belted out the bridal march from Lohengrin, 791 couples from all over the world filed into a huge indoor gym in the South Korean capital. The brides wore the traditional Korean maxi-length skirts and matching white chogori (blouses), and the men were dressed mainly in flannel suits. Resplendent on the platform in front of them stood Master Sun Myung Moon and his wife in golden robes and glistening crowns.

...Under Sidney Lumet's flashbackward direction, the acting proves a match for Gore Vidal's hysteroid script. Coburn emotes in a style that was once the exclusive province of Popeye. Lynn Redgrave, tricked out in a miniskirted bridal gown, looks rather appealingly like a marshmallow on toothpicks. But her accent, a mixture of two Birminghams?Alabama's and England's?must be heard to be disbelieved. Even Hooks ?normally a powerful and discreet actor?is lost in this raucous ménagerie à trois...
