...Gallaghers' homelife, the funny- horny touches in the sex scene. Douglas and Close are nicely cast, attractive opposites. His all-American-boy bafflement suggests a Gary Cooper stripped of moral authority and ill at ease in a grown-up dilemma. Her intimidating energy recalls the young Katharine Hepburn but with a voracious libido. And behind them both stands another more portly silhouette: the ghost of Alfred Hitchcock.

...heroine? Practical. Idealistic. Self-deprecating. Humorous anecdotes about both her intestinal troubles and her intestinal fortitude inconveniencing everyone. One thinks -- as long as Kate Hepburn lives, so does the spirit of 19th century New England. Odd -- nice -- it took unlikely root in show biz. Physically her book is like her -- slender, handsome (many good pictures), irresistible. "Glory be," as she says...
