BETSY'S WEDDING

Alan Alda, Molly Ringwald

Touchstone; Directed by Alan Alda

Rated R; 93 minutes; 1990

Alan Alda wrote and directed this light-hearted look at one of America's most treasured traditions - the overdone wedding. Alda plays Eddie Hopper, who is over-extended financially and over-invested emotionally in the planning of the upcoming event. Friends and relatives Madeline Kahn, Joey Bishop, Burt Young, Ally Sheedy, and Molly Ringwald as 'Betsy' are all pushing for their own favorite traditions and rituals until the special event becomes a wedding none of them or you will ever forget.
