...Celebration concerns the 40th wedding anniversary of the Shaws, and their three sons who return home to make an occasion of it. Mr. Shaw (Bill Owen) has a weak heart from working in the coal mines of Northern England.

"After going into every city in America three or four times, after traveling every highway and eating at every truck stop, it gets old, and I gotta stop and recharge my batteries." His most recent recharge expedition-three days at Orange Lake, Fla., last month, angling for black bass without much luck-left him nostalgic.
