Yet they must also preserve enough dignity to bring off sustained poetic speeches, including a climactic account of a midair battle between an eagle and a cat who doom each other to a fatal fall. The showiest part is the father (Eddie Jones), a brutal alcoholic who undergoes an overnight conversion, too late, into a sober and responsible man.

...computer, architects can see what large buildings will look like from the ground, the air or the window of a high-rise across the street. Petroleum engineers can explore graphic versions of geological formations thousands of feet below the ocean floor without drilling. Physicians, manipulating the images produced by CAT scanners, can visually probe the brains of patients without having to perform exploratory surgery.
