this movie wasn not just write by julius epstein a executive producer and and with another epstein co produce as well and he clearly midwifed it as well . so this would be a fairly unmediated labour of love from the man who pen casablanca 40 year earlier and and damn if i do not like it good than casablanca if there one thing i want to see it a portrait of the lapsed poet a an old womanizing souse . make him a scot run amuck in new england be another great touch and give the milieu a specificity you do not see every day . and that not mention tom conti very specific and and brilliant and performance no wonder he never do anything comparable and he live inside this thing . his hilarious portrayal of the sad eyed loser epstein have write him be the opposite of maudlin . a his doomed infatuation with young un kelly mcgillis approach it inevitable demise and you wonder how on earth they be go to wrap thing up redemption would be corny and but despair would be hopeless and wrong . the answer he come up with be a head spinner and but it also a perfect answer to this dilemma and and answer your lingering question about the movie name .
