Inside, the champagne will froth in the Diplomatic Reception Room, with a lavish buffet of smoked salmon, roast beef and shrimps in coconut (caviar and foie gras were eliminated for economy rea sons) spread in the State Dining Room not far from the multistoried cake. After an interval at the reception, Tricia will climb halfway up the red-carpeted grand stairs and toss her bouquet down to the attendants waiting below; if Tricia's aim is on, it probably will fall to Ed's 25-year-old sister Maizie, who will be a brides maid.

Naturally, Alda's frau (Jacqueline Bisset) doesn't at all care for the lavish attentions of Jurgens and his kinky retinue of friends, but Alda is too flattered to listen. When Jurgens suddenly dies of leukemia, Alda, who has resumed his musical career, takes over the master's concert dates and an incestuous love affair with Parkins. His wife, in the meantime...
