The church is almost 150 years younger than the family's 700-year-old business. Now the Frescobaldis, best known for their sumptuous Brunello di Montalcino wine, are coming out of the Middle Ages, forming international alliances that would impress even their arch rivals, the Medicis, and embarking on a marketing strategy for the 21st century...

...Leonard Bernstein would have been welcome, but the lean, laconic score keeps the action moving, lending Miller's kitchen-table naturalism a freshening touch of poetry. Add in Josephson's star-quality performance as Eddie, the exemplary staging of Frank Galati (who directed Broadway's Ragtime) and Santo Loquasto's angular set--the Brooklyn Bridge as painted by Franz Kline--and you get a no-nonsense tragedy whose final curtain falls with the tight-lipped impact of a police report...
