...when he wrote his Little Mary Sunshine, a delightful satire of those song and dance shows to which director Greg Delawie '80 and the South House Drama Society have done justice. The play takes place on a summer day in Colorado in 1910. The main plot is simple: a group of forest rangers, who resemble Dudley Do-Rights more than Ranger Ricks, arrive at Little Mary Sunshine's vacation home in search of the wild Indian Yellow Feather. Of the 17 characters, 14 are romantically involved and the other three are Indians, who are not supposed to have such emotions...
Pealing Bells. Kahlis, a cigar in his mouth, two U.S. marshals at his side, was soon headed for his armed-camp home where his plot had been conceived. Until his preliminary hearing, he is confined to Washington. To reporters gathering beyond the fence, he said he felt "very good...

Insofar as Hudson's story is a love story, it refreshingly focuses on his love for his three sons by both marriages (Hart Bochner, Michael-James Wixted, Brad Savage). During a long visit by the boys early in the film, he painfully reaches toward them across gaps of isolation, resentment and pride-his own and sometimes theirs. Later, when the oldest son is shot down while serving as a fighter pilot, Hudson has a bittersweet interlude with the boy's mother (affectingly...
