Portrayed by Jack Lemmon, Wilson is a bileful Manhattan bachelor just entering middle age. When we first encounter him, in fact, he is lying in bed mouthing halfhearted paeans on the joys of bachelorhood to the world at large. In the time-honored tradition of bachelors who gloat early in a show, Wilson will soon be posting the banns-somewhere in the second reel, in fact. His intended is one Terry Kozlenko (Barbara Harris), who supports three children and a yapping mongrel on alimony checks. Once wed, Wilson is beset by miseries. His stepchildren are a mess...

Mainichi's newsmen still gloat about a photo they got of the Rising Sun replacing the Stars and Stripes over Iwo Jima last summer, even though the ceremony marking the return of Japanese sovereignty ended just 15 minutes before the paper's evening deadline. As the ceremony ended, a Beechcraft took off from Iwo Jima, 775 miles south of Tokyo, and negatives were processed aboard.
