This could be lumped together with Only When I Laugh and I Ought to Be in Pictures, to form a sort of Generational Estrangement trilogy by Neil Simon. The surface is slick enough, but the fairy-tale storyline -- a drop-out father drops back in after twenty-eight years, bearing a briefcase filled with six-hundred-thousand-some dollars -- makes it harder than usual to detect any real emotion underneath. And it seems unwise for a writer like Simon to fabricate a character whose literary idol is William Makepeace Thackeray: "I like an author who makes you work a little." With Marsha Mason, Jason Robards, and Donald Sutherland; directed by Herbert Ross. (1983) — Duncan Shepherd
