I thought some of the personal situations were kind of trite, as was some of the dialogue.<br>
<br>
And I thought the ending was over the top. But the picture was so well made and acted that these were blurred.<br>
<br>
I actually reviewed the movie when it came out. I thought it was one of Lumet's best. And certainly Paddy's best script. ALthough <em>The Hospital </em>was good.<br>
<br>
<strong>BTW, what a joke the Academy Awards are.<br>
<br>
That year, <em>Network</em> and <em>Taxi Driver</em> were both up for Best Picture. They were beaten by Rocky.<br>

What a joke. That is why I don't watch the Oscars anymore.<br>
<br>
BTW: Is your name a coincidence, if you know what I mean?
Rocky? Good grief. That's as bad as the year Kurasawa and John Houston lost to Out of Africa. As to my name, I was wondering if someone would catch that. No, I am in no way related, thank God(although they are as rich as sin). Though in 1946 when I was born in Wash. DC, my namesake was Undersecretary of the Army, I believe. Maybe my mother was up to shenanigans? G. Boydon was one of his offspring and the whole family were friends of the Bushes, and a nasty bunch. There was a GG II and III as well, I believe. GG II could have tried his hand at acting, my profession, because when I joined the the union I was told I would have to change my name. He subsequently dropped from the roles of AE, and I got to keep mine. I have always wondered what became of him, but I can't find anything about him on the internet. You would think with his family you would.

I didn't know Boyden was in the family.

That makes it even worse.

Well GLG was the guy who integrated the army, so you have to give him that. BTW I must tell you I'm really enjoying your book.
