  • 1996

The film, based on the play by Jon Robin Baitz, follows three children of a Holocaust survivor and book publishing magnate who is beginning to lose his mind to dementia. In the play, the younger son is established as teaching landscape architecture at Vassar; here, played by Timothy Hutton, it’s not said, though his sister (Sarah Jessica Parker) does appear in a Vassar T-shirt (with odd colors).
