Girls in Their Summer Dresses (and Other Stories), The

Jeff Bridges, Brian Dennehy and Carol Kane are among the performers who bring a trilogy of Shaw stories to life. The three works - "Girls In Their Summer Dresses," "The Monument" and "The Man Who Married a French Wife" - share a common theme: namely, the emotional and philosophical differences which serve as a catalyst for (and the undoing of) the interpersonal relationships among three diverse couples. All three stories were adapted for television by Kenneth Cavender.
