...colleagues started. But in the second inning, Javits, 62, stepped in for a swing while Bobby, 40, hooted pleasantly from the sidelines. The Senior Senator cracked a clean single-uh, clean, if you don't count some fumble fingering in centerfield. Daughter Joy Javits, 17, who was a ringer (she's on Senator Claiborne Pell's staff), then brought her balding pa pounding home with a triple. Thus inspired, "The Old Men" eked out a 28-17 win. Two-four-six-ache, who do we appreciate? Jake, Jake, Jake. Yeah...

...sense of invasion is not necessarily physical. For every soliciting doorbell-ringer there is his counterpart on the telephone-and few Americans can resist the imperative of a ringing phone. The TV set is a chattering presence. The mailbox is constantly flooded by printed sales pitches. How did the catering service know that a family's daughter was getting married or that they had just bought their first...

...compounded by the fact that nearly every actor resembles someone else. James Caan, as a jealous driving champion, idles along in the Beatty-Newman-Brando tradition. Marianna Hill plays the Leslie Caron part, a French waif passed along to Caan by his track rival James Ward, who is a ringer for Doug McClure, who looks like Troy Donahue.

Under the anything-goes direction of England's Tony Richardson (Tom Jones), Loved One tosses so many wreaths into the nether world of American funeral customs that it occasionally scores a dead ringer. That chrome-plated butterball, Liberace, is hilariously on key as a casket salesman, peddling such optional extras as the standard-eternal or perpetual-eternal flames ("The standard burns only during visiting hours"). Milton Berle and Margaret Leighton enliven one interlude as a married pair squabbling over the remains of their dear departed, a dog named Arthur.
