...romantic geometry in Italian American Reconciliation is familiarly lopsided. Teresa (Laura San Giacomo) loves and is in love with Huey (John Pankow). Huey loves Teresa but is in love with his ex-wife Janice (Jayne Haynes). Janice hates Huey and just about everybody else. Nor is the world crazy about her. Teresa, who thinks Janice "should live on a black mountain and drink out of a skull," tells Huey, "You're spoiled by women. You think you got woman-love coming to you out of your destiny." But who, in a Shanley comic opera, can ignore la forza del destino...

Arrested in Sweden in 1941, he renounced Communism from his jail cell and was expelled from the party. Ever since, his former comrades have regarded him as a traitor and a menace. Twice their gunmen have tried to kill him, and his appointment as All-German Affairs Minister brought bitter...
