...future male fashion included black leather pants with a matching leather shirt, laced up the front. Roman Tailor Angelo Litrico, who has made suits for John F. Kennedy, Nikita Khrushchev and Dr. Christiaan Barnard, claimed inspiration from the astronauts; he showed, reading from top to bottom, a visored crash helmet, zippered jacket and wide-striped trousers tucked inside vinyl knee boots.

During the Depression, one son, Vic (Pat Hingle), elected to stay and help support the old man by joining the police force, thus sacrificing his ambitions, his college degree and a potentially promising scientific career. The other son, Walter (Arthur Kennedy), left home and became an eminent surgeon. Estranged for all that time, the two brothers have not seen or spoken to each other for 16 years. Now the cop has summoned the surgeon so that they can make a mutual...
