Soapy, maybe, but... (2001-10-24)  Perhaps this movie borders on soap opera (being mainly about personal relationships, something mainly sorely lacking in modern day films with emphasis on action/special effects). BUT an insight is gained into the lives of old New England money vis a vis their work (in this case, the practice of law), their marriages and their relationship with their children. They live exactly as they are supposed to, as they were raised to live. And yet despite problems do manage to find meaning and love. Add sterling performances by Ephraim Zimbalist Jr., character actors Carroll O'Connor and (if I'm not mistaken) Thomas Mitchell, and even a very young George Hamilton and Susan Koener (excuse if her last name is misspelled), and an extra special performance by Jason Robards, Jr. (his scenes with Lana Turner especially reveal the differences between a New York trained actor and a Hollywood trained actor), which makes the film worth viewing no matter what. Lana Turner is startlingly beautiful. Her acting is in and out. Still, she belongs in the film with her strange vulnerability, like silk flowing in the wind.
