...problem is posed by the Viet Nam war, which is creating thousands of widows who must grapple with grief. In an effort to help them, a Navy psychiatrist at Camp Pendleton, Calif., has set up a program that uses their common tragedy to turn them toward the future.

Twelve years he's been married; twelve years of his live shot to hell. That's why Jack Lemmon is able to make Brubaker so much worthier an object of sympathy (or empathy, depending on your age group) than Benjamin. Braddock stumbles through situations picking up the emotional cost with a sort or moral charge plate...
