Last October, Colonel Ruppert did not see the World Series. Ill with phlebitis (inflammation of the veins), he listened at his radio, beamed with joy as he heard his beloved Yankees annihilate the Chicago Cubs in four straight victories.

But the rest of the family, if unconventional, are given to normal moments of joy and sorrow. After mixing Grandma's outrageous antics with her son-in-law's gruesome suicide and her granddaughter's rocky romance, The Primrose Path fails to come off as well as it might. For, though humor and pathos make the best of friends, realism and farce...
