...Bernard (Peter Kastner) is a little boy who grows up absurd, wavering between his girl friends (Elizabeth Hartman, Karen Black) and his parents (Geraldine Page, Rip Torn). Though the farce is sometimes forced, this first big-league effort by Writer-Director-Producer Francis Ford Coppola suggests bigger things to come...
Both the faults and freshness of Big Boy stem from the same source: the vast, undisciplined energy of its writer, producer and director-all of whom happen to be Francis Ford Coppola, 27.

Mrs. Ginsburg was slightly surprised to see "Trigger Mike" Coppola and "Tony Ducks'' Corallo on the list. And when she saw the name Hoffa, she "knew something was wrong." Indeed there was. Ethel had picked the wrong shoebox-the one with the cards compiled by Husband Bobby while he was counsel for the Senate's McClellan committee, investigating...
