Synopses & Reviews
The Vincents are a large and awkward New England family. Augustus Paine drinks too much; his wife, Rosie, a high-spirited Catholic, holds the family together, towing her seven "monkeys" to church, to boat races and picnics in Maine. When she dies in a tragic accident, she leaves them to somehow carry on.
