 Over
a meal in a French restaurant, Sy poses a conundrum to his fellow diners:
Is the essence of life comic or tragic? For the sake of argument, he
tells a story, which the others then embellish to illustrate their takes
on life. The story starts as follows: A young Manhattan couple, Park
Avenue princess Laurel and tippling actor Lee, throw a dinner party
to impress Lee's would-be producer when their long-lost friend Melinda
appears at their front door, bedraggled and woebegone. In the tragic
version of what happens next, the beautiful intruder is a disturbed
woman who got bored with her Midwestern doctor-husband and dumped him
for a photographer. Her husband took the children away and she spiraled
into a suicidal depression that landed her straight-jacketed in a mental
ward. In the comic version, Melinda is childless and a downstairs neighbor
to the dinner hosts, who are ambitious Indy filmmaker Susan and under-employed
actor Hobie. Back and forth the stories go, contrasting the destinies
of the two Melindas. |
