Tarleton's daughter Hypatia (Deborah Kipp) is so restless under the inane constraints imposed on a gentlewoman that she has become engaged to a man who is a shrill teakettle of immaturity. When a handsome aviator (Geraint-Wyn Davies) and his Polish acrobat passenger (Carole Shelley) enter the Tarleton drawing room after their plane crashes into the greenhouse, verbal gunfire begins to crackle all along Shaw's battlefront...
...film a newcomer named Bud (Travolta) meets both the mechanical steer and Sissy (Debra Winger, who gives the picture's best performance), his bride-to-be, soon after he arrives in town.

She may be the anchor in a stormy household, the practical support for two restless dreamers, but nonetheless (indeed, as a result of this) her frustration should be evident in subconscious glimpses early on and flashes of anger later. When she tries to explain to Linda why she married George--Persephone's most touching speech--Brown fails to communicate the depth of this woman's love and the strength of her character. (In all fairness, it must be stated that Brown took over the role only two weeks before the opening...
