Among the guests are Celeste Zappala, the outspoken mother of a soldier killed in Iraq, and a cadre of antiwar diplomats.

The audience at the public screening I attended was every bit as rapturous as the ones in the movie; and when Harvey Weinstein, the indie mogul titan who's made a few enemies over the years, stood up, he too was greeted with all cheers, no boos.

There was Diane Sawyer, Martha Stewart, Dustin Hoffman, Robert DeNiro, Donna Karan, Diane Von Furstenberg, Sarah Jessica Parker, Matthew Broderick, New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg and ubiquitous billionaire Steve Schwartzman. Was that Police Commissioner Ray Kelly tapping his foot to Frank Sinatra's "The Best Is Yet to Come" as Ralph strolled the runway, taking in the standing ovation and embracing friends and family?
