...beyond doubt, the year's strangest love match. This week in Moscow, Christina Onassis, 27, heir to her late father Aristotle's $500 million shipping, financial and industrial empire, is set to marry a Soviet citizen and Communist Party member who, say U.S. intelligence sources, may have KGB connections. What is more, she apparently intends to make her home in the Soviet capital...
...match, if it proceeds as planned, will be Christina's third. Her previous ventures in love have been disasters. Her first important romance was with Peter Goulandris, heir to another Greek shipping fortune, but the couple were so incompatible that they never got as far as the altar. That over, she married, at 20, a Los Angeles real estate broker more than twice her age named Joseph Bolker. Nine months later, they divorced. Four months after her father's death, in 1975, she married Alexander Andreadis, scion of an Athens business family. "It is like being made a king...

There are many unedifying quarrels among them all, and gradually we learn that one daughter is miserable because Daddy didn't love her, another because Mommy failed her, while the third was left out by both. If the movie has any merit, it is in its middle passage, where we see how, as adults, the three young women still seek compensation for the parental debts left over from childhood. But good performances by these actresses can not really compensate for the desperate sobriety of the film, which robs it of energy and passion, so that it seems to congeal...
Coming Home--This is a fairly decent film about a Vietnam veteran (Jon Voigt) who comes home, confined to a wheelchair for the rest of his life, and then falls in love with Jane Fonda, while her husband Bruce Stern has only just departed for Asia himself. The only drawbacks in this movie are that its points are not made very subtly, but rather clobber you over the head with theories on what that war was all about, in case you don't know already...
