...priced. The men regard this proposal as scandalous, although their own pet projects are as bad or worse. One member fulminates that if God had wanted a permissive society, "he would have given Moses ten suggestions instead of ten command ments." Ably abetted by the antic direction of Alan Arkin, Rubbers is a zany caricature of mandated imbecility.

And recently she branched out to her first film role, playing the Mexican wife of Alan Arkin in the forthcoming Freebie and the Bean. "When they offered me the part," she says, "I said you ought to get a Chicano girl, but if you're going with Sandra Dee, then take...
