Plot

As the sun sets over their lavish Malibu estate, architect Harvey Fairchild (Jack Lemmon) and singer Gillian Fairchild (Dame Julie Andrews) prepare for an unforgettable weekend. The occasion? Harvey's momentous 60th birthday. The guest list? Their three grown children, each with their kaleidoscope of quirks and significant others, along with their closest friends. Even their daughter Kate (Emma Walton Hamilton) and her boyfriend Steve (Robert Knepper) are jetting in from New York City, adding a dash of east coast hustle to the coastal calm. However, beneath the anticipation of the celebrations, a storm brews. Gillian, the lighthouse of the family, is harbouring a secret - she's awaiting the results of a throat biopsy, potentially cancerous. Resolute in her decision to keep the unsettling news under wraps, she doesn't want to cast a shadow over the weekend's festivities. But her strength is tested as Harvey, unaware of his wife's predicament, spirals into a cocktail of stress and depression, his career and advancing age pressing heavily on his spirits. Harvey's emotional turmoil is further aggravated by the capricious demands of his difficult client Janice Kern (Cynthia Sikes), an encounter with a former college rival turned Catholic Priest, Tony Baragone (Robert Loggia), and the cryptic forecasts of Madame Carrie (Felicia Farr), a local fortune teller. As the weekend unfolds, the Fairchild estate becomes a stage for drama, laughter, soul-searching, and surprise, all set against the backdrop of an approaching garden party which promises to be the crescendo of the celebrations. In the midst of the chaos, Gillian must handle the respective issues of their children, while Harvey grapples with his own internal crises. In this whirlwind of life, love, and uncertainty, "That's Life!" (1986) unravels a tapestry of human emotion, proving that even in the face of adversity, the show must go on.
