...honestly, you ought to have six weeks straight at Campo." Eleanor stayed, but she could hardly have been reassured when F.D.R. candidly wrote her of Potomac cruises with Lucy and others. By the time they arrived in Washington, the Roosevelts already had three children, Anna, 7, James, 5, and Elliott, 3. Franklin Jr. was born in 1914, and their last child, John...

The rest of Elliott Baker's screenplay, adapted from his own 1964 novel and filmed with careful fidelity on the seedy side of Manhattan, is a fitfully funny satire based on a portrait of the artist as the natural enemy of all Establishment norms. This voguish half-truth worked well enough in book form, where nearly every character was a well-managed mass of lunatic impulses. In the movie, everyone seems to be racing against the threat of imminent condensation. Director...
