...actress, a tremendous tensile strength that helped anchor the unforced ebullience of her personality. When a film required it, she could really dig in her heels. Billy Wilder's Sabrina, which quickly followed Roman Holiday, showed her torn between the smooth bachelor blandishments of William Holden and the tempered, literally businesslike attentions of Humphrey Bogart. Hepburn made the right choice -- the heart's choice -- as she would continue to do in all her best-remembered movies. Past the sorcery of her sensuality, with its inviolate innocence, and past her great beauty, Hepburn wooed and won her audience because she always...
Under pressure at home and abroad, Japanese officials show no signs of scuttling the plutonium program, but they may slow it down. Even as the Akatsuki Maru dropped anchor, they were thinking about delaying further scheduled shipments from France and postponing construction of Japan's plutonium production facility, which is supposed to start operation in August...

Winger provides the film with a breath of fresh air, portraying the frustrated sojourner of myth who finally finds her home among the midst of lime butterflies...
...Having seen 'em all--'80s revivals, masquerades, dance parties, '80s masquerade dances--we wanted to do something different. Something that would, at 1 a.m., leave exultant partygoers' heads swimming in more than just alcohol fumes. Something that would leave them satisfied that Harvard doesn't need finals clubs to anchor a social scene, confident that occasionally they had more fun than their high school friends who went to state universities, and, most of all, glad that they hadn't spent another weekend evening pretending to do homework while watching Saturday Night Live...
