Gerry Siegal and Sally Nathan, a young suburban Chicago couple, decide to get married… thereby setting off a marital World Ward III! Between Sally's Uncle/Mother/Father Alfie Nathan and Gerry's extensive extended family, the couple's wedding arrangements could prove more difficult than anything their marriage might ever present. It’s the biggest family feud since the Montagues and Capulets, as caterers, dressmakers, rabbis, florists, photographers and a domineering wedding planner are put through the proverbial wringer in the looniest wedding this side of “Father of the Bride!” An early work by John Kander (“Cabaret,” “Chicago”), James Goldman (“Follies,” “A Lion In Winter”) and William Goldman (“Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid,” “The Princess Bride”), “A Family Affair” is a neurotic, tuneful, wickedly funny and universally appealing picture of what really goes into the smiling wedding portrait in the family album.
