...girl--and she can look back on the departure with satisfaction. Her masochistic Theresa Dunn rivals Keaton's technical excellence in portraying Annie Hall, but the character makes no claims upon our sympathy, despite all the vilification unloaded upon her by Dunn's succession of one-night lovers. Tuesday Weld provides an unmemorable contrast to Keaton as Dunn's capricious older sister Katherine, relying too heavily on the character's caricaturish wackiness to carry her through the part. Richard Brooks' direction and adaption of Judith Rossner's best-selling novel is sufficiently slick to draw crowds to the box office...

Someone spills a half-empty can of warm beer all over the steps. It runs down to the pavement and puddles at the feet of a pretty blonde, surrounded by six or seven men. She is listening to them, but the look in her eyes says she really isn't there...
Around one a.m. the crowds start to thin out. Groups head back to their own rooms, still boisterous, shattering the sudden quiet in the Yard, but outside Weld some late hangers-on continue. Off to one side, a group of Wellesley freshmen waiting for the last bus out exchange giggles about the people they've encountered. "Did you see that guy? He was such a jerk! How come everyone is so insecure here?" one asked...
