...special paint made from her ashes. O'Dwyer maintains that "we should dispose of her ashes in a fashion consistent with her stature in the arts." Meanwhile, he keeps the remains in a galvanized can wrapped in white paper. "It's a cheap thing," O'Dwyer admits. Parker's epitaph for herself seems more appropriate than ever: "Excuse my dust...
...Viet Nam, he leads an honor guard at Arlington National Cemetery. All show, no go. But in Private First Class Jackie Willow (D.B. Sweeney), Clell can see a surrogate son and his best younger self.

One look at the cast--Katherine Hepburn, Cary Grant, and Jimmy Stewart--just about says it all; but when you figure in the top-notch script and director George Cukor's subtle direction, you have one of Hollywood's few truly timeless jobs...
