Plot
Asner plays a prosperous Irish-born New Yorker who falls in love with a young pianist and is tempted to be unfaithful to his wife for the first time.[1]
Reception
Writing in the New York Times, Tom Buckley gave the film a bad review, calling the script "resolutely undramatic, stilted and humorless", the directing "like stretching taffy" and Asner's accent "intermittent and unconvincing".[1]
gollark: You can just suggest a command?
gollark: Honestly, the code is kind of a mess right now.
gollark: ... how?
gollark: ```rust// Evaluate an arithmetic expressioncommand!(eval(_context, message, args) { let expr = args.multiple::<String>()?.join(" "); // yes, this is kind of undoing the work the command parser does... send_result(message, &calc::eval(&expr))?;});// Evaluate an arithmetic expression in polish notationcommand!(eval_polish(_context, message, args) { let expr = args.multiple::<String>()?.join(" "); send_result(message, &calc::eval_polish(&expr))?;});```ALL THE CODE for this feature.
gollark: No, since I was too lazy to do anything other than plug in an existing rust library.
