...love story that is laughable. The young man is enamored of Ali MacGraw, who is as pretty an older woman as she was a younger woman and, regrettably, is the same hopeless actress she has always been. It would require talent of a high order to make her role believable, however. She is supposed to be an international tycoon's kept woman. Unfortunately he keeps her very far away- in Mexico, while he is on a yacht off Monte Carlo. When he calls, she jumps, and all this abrupt, unexplained commuting takes its toll on Martin.

...first bench sitter once worked with a woman named Gracie, the last one with a man named Jackie, and the middle one with Marilyn Monroe and Marlon Brando. Today, Actors George Burns and Art Carney and Actors Studio Patriarch Lee Strasberg are teamed for Going in Style, now filming in New York City.

...time is 1935, and the place is a farm in the Catskills, presided over by a formidable middle-aged woman named Anna. She is headmistress of a progressive day school, and Mary Ann and Lolly, the girls, are her students. The other adults are Mary Ann's mother Honey, a fortyish Southern belle, and her father Bill, a stuffy but decent bureaucrat who runs a Government poverty program. They are soon joined by Lolly's parents, Celia, a pretty, distracted woman in her 20s, and Dan, an easy-riding adman in his late 40s. Dan and Honey turn...
