NOTES Two films in one. First a family comedy in which the neurotic

MacLaine dallies with ex-astronaut Nicholson while her

daughter Winger returns to her unfaithful husband. Then

Winger gets cancer and the mood changes. MacLaine and

Nicholson got the Oscars, Winger does the acting. Longish

(the film covers a period of 30 years) but worthwhile in the

end. A film about people rather than plot and action.

From the novel by Larry McMurtry.
