Falk and Arkin are thrown together when their respective children decide to marry. The newlyweds (Penny Peyser and Michael Lembeck) are upstanding graduates of Mount Holyoke and Yale; the dads are students of Groucho and Chico.

Newman Associates at Yale's Center for American Arts, and the creation of a striking office complex within a four-story 1896 bank building in Princeton, N.J. Interestingly, Michael Graves, 44, who was responsible for the design, achieved prominence in the early 1970s as a leader of a highly theoretical group of architects specializing in abstract form. Graves has since redesigned some two dozen old buildings, and is currently converting a 1906 railway...
