...Glass House, as it's now known, very quickly became one of the most widely published and talked-about American homes since Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater, completed 12 years earlier. Until now the Glass House has also been a place that only a lucky few have seen up close. But long before he died two years ago, at age 98, Johnson had set plans in motion for the house and its 47-acre surroundings--where over the years he added a number of other high-concept buildings--to be opened to the public after his death.

On the other hand, it's an unprepossessing delight, especially after Frank meets Laurel (Tea Leoni). She's a salty talker and he's drawn to her by her less than grief-stricken remarks about her stepfather, as Frank prepares his body for his last rites. You may wonder what a bright, pretty young woman would see in an aging, taciturn mobster, but, hey, this is a romantic comedy of a sorts and stranger things than that have...
