STELLA IN HEAVEN

A sentimental comedy depicts a widower of 61 and his deceased wife, who insists upon meddling in his love life from beyond the grave. If you read Buchwald's Pulitzer Prize-winning column, you already know what to expect here by way of amiable satire and inoffensive comedy. Elliott Gould gives an affectionate, engaging performance, deftly negotiating between the passages recounted by Roger and those by his Zelda. Y.R.
