...work was superb. There was none of the outrageous improvisation that marks Sellers' acting when he feels a project is going badly. "I was amazed at the discretion with which he handled the part," says Co-Star Melvyn Douglas. "Never was there a suggestion of having overblown any sense of it." Adds Richard Dysart, who played a doctor: "The texture of that man's work! He gave Hal Ashby two or three different characters?not that varied, but different. I began to see that there was a through line for each, that they were consistent." Ashby thus had not just...
...thinks of until she does it and makes it inevitable. Her role in The Seduction of Joe Tynan as the other woman, having an affair with a married U.S. Senator, also placed her in an uneven struggle for audience sympathy. Many would argue that Meryl won hands down. Recalls Co-Star Alan Alda: "When she blew Tynan a kiss at the airport after their affair, that was Meryl's own inspiration.

...Twenties roles? Or is it the same features that made her Britain's trendy fashion model a decade ago: her boyish charm? Twiggy was a kind of '20s bopper in The Boy Friend eight years ago. Now she is a genuine flapper in There Goes the Bride. Co-Star Tommy Smothers plays an addled adman who cracks his head on a door and hallucinates enough to dawdle with the Twiggy of the '20s, whose picture he was about to use in an advertising campaign. After another crack on the noggin, Smothers perambulates into...
...madness. Arkin is the wailing violin that accompanies Falk's gravel-toned bass. Together these actors form the funniest comic team since Zero Mostel met Gene Wilder in Brooks' The Producers. Not only should the in-laws reunite as soon as possible, but they should also bring Co-Star Libertini back for another ride. His rapid-fire portrayal of the martinet, General Garcia, is at once a deranged Seňor Wences routine and a one-man revival of The Mouse That Roared...
