Wackerbarth always looked for a different angle on the couch: homosexuals in the act, a surrealistic family portrait of a man, woman, and a coyote, and midget actress Zeidah Rubinstein of Poltergeistian fame holding a ruler and magically shrunken sofa. Despite all this ingenuity, the Red Couch never manages to attain true metaphoric nirvana, but it manages to reach the state of a truly useful photographic tool for two talented photographers...
...Stripping away the deceptive dew of formulate novel writing--the exotic foreign city, the glamourous actress, the handsome young hero-- and Foreign Affairs seems like anything but an easy gamble Lurie spares as none of the foibles and failing of the Professors of Love, but makes us love them anyway.

Lumet introduces the characters in brief cameos, but these supposedly comic sketches are disappointingly inadequate. They simply lack punch. One exception is Gilly's meeting with a lonely gay salesman on the ferry to Fire Island, where Garbo has a home. As they wander along the beach at dusk, he describes his lonely personal life. Finally, the mute lighting is perfect, providing a discrete backdrop for this sensitive scene. The scene aptly...
