She\u2019s fine, the cast is fine, Jose Ferrer is great, and there are a handful of hysterical lines that zing whenever one feels the film is getting a bit too serious.<\/p>\n<p>The most attractive aspect has its adult cast looking back and weighing the value of regrets \u2013 people one should\u2019ve asked deeper questions, engaged in free-for-all whoopee, or not married at all \u2013 which sets it apart from Allen\u2019s more satirical, sketch comedy efforts of the early seventies.<\/p>\n<p>If nothing else, there\u2019s Gordon Willis\u2019 stunning cinematography, and some fine montages (of which the \u2018awakening forest animals\u2019 is a special highlight).<\/p>\n<p>More stuff coming next as I post material written and edited after that nasty cold.<\/p>\n<p>Cheers,<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mark R.
