Weddings and Babies

A work of artistic finesse and great emotional candor, Morris Engel’s WEDDINGS AND BABIES is a bittersweet tale of love, hope and sacrifice, staged to perfection amid the sidewalks and storefront apartments of New York's Little Italy. Viveca Lindfors stars as Bea, a Swedish-born woman who yearns to begin a family with her photographer boyfriend Al. But the two things to which Al has devoted his career, weddings and babies, are the very things he cannot make room for in his life. The unexpected appearance of Al's aging mother, evicted from a boarding house, only intensifies his familial confusion, and Bea must decide whether to wait for Al or seek happiness elsewhere.
