At breakfast, Jane announces that she and Ralph are getting married the next week. All Jane and Ralph want is a small wedding with the immediate family and no reception.

About the least fun of any Bette Davis movie I can think of. Pauline Kael: "Forgettable. Paddy Chayefsky's TV drama, adapted by Gore Vidal, of whom there is no detectable trace." (Boy, is THAT the truth!) "A Bronx cab-driver (Borgnine) and his shrewish, socially ambitious wife (Davis) wrangle about whether their daughter should have a big wedding or a simple ceremony. The wife's leprechaun brother (Barry Fitzgerald)--full of Gaelic shenanigans--gets into this drab argument."
