Brilliant acting and a story many of us can relate to. A full sociological study in 92 minutes!

Funny Bette Davis + serious Debbie Reynolds. Yes. Gore Vidal + Paddy Chayefsky. Oh yes. Plastics and skin doctors and ranch houses, "compatibility" and "trouble" and immediate family. Thank you, TMC.

Compelling and interesting. Gray, dingy, sad, ugly, interesting, touching and ultimately just uplifting enough to be believable. When the bride's best friend says that she can't afford to be in the wedding, it is heartbreaking. But I challenge you to NOT tear up at the end.

Overall, the performances are good and there are occasionally amusing and touching momemts in the otherwise talky, mostly drab, affair under Richard Brooks' direction.

This film generally gets poor reviews from critics, but seems much beloved by audiences. Clearly I'm part of the audience and I really enjoyed this film. Bette Davis is often criticized for an unconvincing Bronx accent, and perhaps that is true, not being American, it sounds Bronx to me and it didn't bother me at all, and it certainly didn't distract me from her performance, which is superb & a somewhat unusual one for her. I was surprised by Debbie Reynolds who I'd never seen in a straight-up dramatic role, but she pulled it off beautifully, making me wonder why she was not given (or perhaps was not inclined to take) the chance to do more films like this. Director Brooks makes you sympathize with all of the opposing characters in turn, always treating them with respect, without hiding away their pettier qualities and absurdities. Because of this 'no bad guy' story-telling the characterization of human relationship is subtle and convincing.
