...Marital Misery "The Honeymoon's Over" reported on the 30,000 or more Indian women who have been abandoned by émigré husbands [Nov. 5]. But it takes two to tango, and not every Indian bride is innocent or naive. There are cases of Indian husbands becoming victims at the hands of their self-centered, manipulative brides.

He jettisons Lila without a sensible hope of corralling romantic longing and ruthless ambition, then spends the rest of the movie trying to persuade Kelly and his starchy father (Eddie Albert) that he's the right guy for her. The movie echoes The Graduate, directed by Nichols, which set up a tawdry situation involving a sexually ambitious young man, then asked for sympathy for the guy because... because he's the main character. May used her gifted...
