Unfailingly attired in his uniform, General St. Pé (Eli Wallach) faces advancing middle age as if it were a court-martial. He is chained to a vixenish wife (Anne Jackson) who spews venom at him and pretends to be a dying invalid. In his high-romantic imagination, he is in thrall to the memories of a young girl (Diana Van Der Vlis) he waltzed with 17 years ago. St. Pé's dream girl appears, only to run off with his callow aide, and the general is left alone in the dusk...

HALF-BACKS look AVERAGE...
...liberalize" the military rather than butt one's head against a stone wall trying to destroy it, the argument continues. And what better way to insure that the army refrain from rightist adventures than to put Harvard men in its leadership? Surely, compassionate and humane Ivy Leaguers in uniform will protect us against all those proto-fascist stump-jumping hillbillies from the South and midwestern cow colleges...
