When she was five, Candy made her first appearance on the radio show, and when she got applause, the jealous Charlie said, "That's enough, folks. That's enough. Let's not let things get out of hand.

She said her lines perfectly, and she thought her father was pleased. But Bergen was a stiff, inarticulate man who found it nearly impossible to express affection physically or verbally.

...rules are made to be broken, and the new version of Preston Sturges' 1948 comedy, Unfaithfully Yours, scores a narrow but clean win over one's nostalgic sentiment for the old master's original. Director Howard Zieff has retained the classic farcical premise: a jealous husband (Dudley Moore) is erroneously convinced that his young wife (Nastassja Kinski) is cuckolding him and is maniacally determined to gain revenge. Sturges' neat twists are retained too: the husband is still that paradigm of dignity in need of mussing, a symphony orchestra conductor; and while leading the orchestra, he still...
