...Father (Gig Young) is carrying on with mother's best friend (Anne Jackson). Brother (Joseph Hindy) and sister-in-law (Diane Keaton) are determined to divorce. The groom's father (Richard Castellano) explains he has never really been happy with his wife (Beatrice Arthur), while a bridesmaid (Marian Hailey) fights off the advances of a lecherous usher (Bob Dishy), and the bride's sister (Anne Meara) argues the virtues of feminine equality with her male-chauvinist husband (Harry Guardino...
...handful who are truly exceptional. Gig Young, who looks as if aged in alcohol, plays the suburban husband with just the right touch of craven satyriasis.

"In effect," she said, "this is a separate but equal policy, nothing more than an endorsement of continued segregation." As New York Psychologist Kenneth Clark saw it, "This...
...opera, the scene is improving slightly. Three decades ago, Soprano Dorothy Maynor could and did prepare opera after opera without ever being invited to sing. One of the century's finest contraltos, Marian Anderson, did not break into opera until 1955, when she was 52. Beyond Tenor George Shirley there are hardly any black male opera singers. But of the top eight American-born female operatic singers, four-Leontyne Price, Shirley Verrett, Martina Arroyo and Grace Bumbry-are black...
