...good. However, I question the way Reagan was portrayed by members of his staff as a sort of Superman because he seemed to recover so quickly. I fear it is a disservice to imply that major surgery is a minor inconvenience that requires only minimal recuperation. Paula S. Richardson Springfield...

The shock of this scene, which sends horror-show gasps through a movie house of jaded adults, also blasts the story back to 1953, dramatizing the abortive affair that the teenage Jean (played by Redgrave's daughter Joely Richardson) had with a young airman off to his death in Malaya.
