(Mark Robson, US 1971, 105 min., 35mm)

Rod Steiger stars as a sexist big game hunter who abandoned his family seven years earlier. His once dull wife (Susannah York) has turned witty and intellectual and is deciding about marrying a pacifist doctor or a vacuum cleaner salesman. In a rare foray into cinema, the late Kurt Vonnegut Jr. adapted his own stage play for a delightful and occasionally surreal comedy-drama “about the end of the bullish dominating male”—Pauline Kael.
