""Look Back In Anger," which came out on film a year after this, is a far more famous and influential work. Yet it doesn't hold up. The charter of Jimmy Potter, the original angry young man, seems extremely disagreeable. That film is beautifully acted. "The Bachelor Party," on the other hand, though a far lesser work, does not seem dated. Oh sure: The money is different. The approach to women is antithetical to Women's Liberation. But it's a nice little movie. Of the Paddy Chayevsky movies from this time, I would rate "The Catered Affair" as the be..."

Carolyn Jones nearly quit the film due to difficulties with the script. After some unsuccessful rehearsals she approached screenwriter Paddy Chayefsky and said, "You're going to have to get another actress because I don't know how to play this part. I don't know a girl who would say lines like these". Surprisingly, the headstrong Chayefsky agreed to rewrite the part for her. When Jones read her new dialogue - including the classic line "Just say you love me, you don't have to mean it" - she thought, "Now *that* girl I understand". Her performance, clocking in at just over six minutes, earned Jones an Oscar nomination for best supporting actress.
