      Patrick Dalton: I came here when I was 20, a very young person and I was naturalized, which is very painful, when I was 25 and I've been in the state assembly for six years which is even more painful.

    A soapy melodrama that might induce tears if you're in the right mood....
    SIX WEEKS is a somewhat cloying and sentimental melodrama that, thanks to an interesting story and charismatic stars, might make you cry if you catch it in the right of frame of mind. Dudley Moore gives a nicely understated performance as Patrick Dalton, an unconventional congressional candidate, who is married and has a son, who finds himself a little more emotionally involved than he should be with a wealthy industrialist (Mary Tyler Moore) and her daughter (Katherine Healy), an aspiring dancer who is enamored with Dalton and wants to work on his campaign. A somewhat soapy screenplay is made palatable thanks to a surprisingly understated performance from Moore and the charm of young Healy, who is not only a charming actress but an amazing dancer. And Mary Tyler Moore has never looked more beautiful than she does in this film.
