...Jewish business partner who squirms up to Albert suggesting that he sell him his half of the business and turn to "harlots" for solace. He cringes away when Albert barks back his objections. Stockard Channing is the neurotic and pushy daughter who returns in the middle of her honeymoon to try to patch up her parents' marriage. She is funny mostly because she is a totally unappealing character. She scowls when she is thinking, and thrusts her chin in the air with a little shimmy when she talks...

...wake of World War II, Truman enjoyed a brief honeymoon with the public. Then troubles came. Abroad, the Communists were pressing hard, backing an armed insurrection in Greece and threatening Turkey. In 1947, the hard-pressed British declared that they could no longer defend the borders of freedom in the eastern Mediterranean. Remote as such places then seemed to U.S. interests, the President proclaimed the Truman Doctrine: the U.S. would aid free countries threatened by Communist aggression...
