...parade had begun. When his wife Dorothy Goetz died in 1912, Berlin poured out his grief in his first real ballad, When I Lost You. The Ziegfeld Follies of 1919 brought forth A Pretty Girl Is Like a Melody; 1924 saw both the tenderly brooding What'll I Do? and the valse triste All Alone. His courtship of heiress Ellin Mackay, granddaughter of an owner of the Comstock Lode, was breathlessly followed in the press, and their secret marriage in 1926, over her father's vigorous objections, made headlines. It also made standards like Always...
...Mitchell Anderson are convincing as the sister-brother act. Director Joseph Sargent traces their rise to fame in brisk if superficial strokes. The film (which lists Richard Carpenter as executive producer) is blunt about the troubles the young stars faced: overprotective, underaffectionate parents (Louise Fletcher, Peter Michael Goetz), Richard's drug problems, Karen's growing obsession with losing weight.

They represented the black victims attacked by white youths in the notorious Howard Beach case, and Mason defended one of the black teenagers shot by Subway Vigilante Bernhard Goetz. At every opportunity, the two lawyers attempt to put the justice system itself on trial. Says Columbia University Law Professor Gerard E. Lynch: "Mason, whom I know, and Maddox, from what I've read, see the judicial system as fundamentally unjust and racist, and that's the key to their strategy and tactics...
