Teddy Roosevelt not only enjoyed taking telephone messages for his six children, he seemed happiest when playing with kids-particularly the noisy, energetic clan of 16 Roosevelt young cousins who congregated in the summers at his sprawling house on Long Island's Oyster Bay. He loved to lead them on cross-country hikes, and if he climbed over a huge log or waded through a muddy pond, each child was expected to do the same. When one wet and bedraggled little Roosevelt tried to explain to her angry mother that she merely had followed the leader, the mother snapped...
...innocent for so long that he has become a professional with no surprises to offer. The part needs an innocent innocent. Alluringly gowned and ungowned, Mercouri has enough dramatic electricity in a finger snap to have prevented the Great Power Blackout of 1965.

Henry has an infallible touch for ruining whatever he comes near. Even his own little boy becomes a psychotic Oedipus wreck. Sin-burned by Henry's faults, his wife (Jane Fonda) leaves him, heading to the Menninger Clinic with their maimed son. Impotent with rage, Henry dynamites his cousin's farm, accidentally killing one of Rad's boys. Rad and Reeve combine to rebuild the land-a union of black and white that seems grey and unconvincing...
