...Bosley Crowther wrote 30 years ago in the New York Times (this was an era when commentators were concerned with the social pathologies of the rich rather than the poor), today's young audiences may find themselves entranced rather than repelled by the movie's upscale ticky-tacky decor and more likely to respond to the sound track's cha-cha lounge music than to its earnest baby-boom lullabies by Simon and Garfunkel.

There was, however, a more positive and socially responsible side to this. The "American Renaissance" also produced some of the finest public buildings of the 19th century. There had been noble churches in the U.S. before, but none as boldly resplendent in space and decor as Henry Hobson Richardson's Trinity Church (1872-97) in Boston.
