Given the presence of a Cockney Casanova, Alfie's plot predictably unreels more like a score card than a scenario.

Mrs. Charles Guggenheimer, 83, mother hen for New York's outdoor summer concerts at Lewisohn Stadium, who for 44 years gave the city the low-cost privilege of enjoying the richest in music, including Rosa Ponselle, Marian Anderson, Artur Rubinstein and George Gershwin; after a long illness; in Manhattan. The wife of a wealthy lawyer, "Minnie," as concertgoers called her, knew little or nothing about music-except that she liked it and wanted everybody else to. She started promoting concerts as a lark in 1918, carried on for the rest of her life and grew famous, both...
