A young man and a nice woman in her forties fall in love. His mother goes berserk when he tells her about it and when the girlfriend comes to meet the mother, she wants to jump out of her skin. Accepting her son's choice won't be easy.
Fine drama with comic touches of respectable middle age matron Tuesday Weld (we should all look so good in middle age!) falling for younger man Patrick Cassidy (understandable since not only is he extremely handsome but intelligent and charming as well) after her divorce.
Tuesday is skittish about their age difference but things are progressing well until Patrick's overprotective mother Ellen Burstyn gets wind of the situation. She does her level best to intrude in every way possible while Ellen's wily father Eli Wallach makes wry observations from the sidelines. The expert skill of all the performers make much more of the story than is on the page and the resolution is more upbeat than you'd expect. Worth seeking out to see all that talent on display.
